Get 'time to leave' notifications

Time to leave notifications tell you when it’s the best time to leave based on real-time traffic and expected drive time.

Make sure that your calendar event has a full address entered for its location, including street name, house number and city.

Note: If you see an option to 'Set address' on the planned drives screen, it means that the address was entered incorrectly and no reminder will be sent. 

To set an address:

1. In your device’s settings, check that your location permission is set to 'Allow all the time'
2. Open Waze
3. Tap  
4. Tap Plan a drive
5. Tap Set address, beside the calendar event
