Alerts in Google Map

Hi Google,

Can we add alert/alarm in google map? For example I am traveling to Kolhapur, Maharashtra in bus or car. I want someone to notify me when I reach near by Satara.

Same way if this feature include in google map it will help user. Map will notify the user before few minutes that he/she is reaching to that place. User don't have to always check the map or start navigation.

We can give facility to notify before certain km or time. 

It will save mobile battery also.

Google Maps does not have a built-in feature to set alerts or alarms for reaching specific locations along a route. However, you can achieve similar functionality through a workaround using the existing features of Google Maps and possibly integrating with other apps or services. Here are some steps you could take:

  • Set a destination in Google Maps: Start by setting your destination as Kolhapur, Maharashtra in Google Maps and begin navigation.
  • Use Google Assistant: You can ask Google Assistant (Android) to remind you when you're close to Satara. For example, you can say, "Hey Google, remind me to check the map when I'm near Satara." Set the reminder to go off at a certain time or when you reach a specific distance from Satara.
  • Share your trip: Google Maps allows you to share your trip progress with friends or family. You could share your trip with someone you trust, and they could remind you when you're getting close to Satara based on the shared location.

Remember to always prioritize safety while driving or traveling. Setting up alerts or reminders should not distract you from the road or your surroundings. Use these features responsibly and only when it's safe to do so. Additionally, keep in mind that app features and capabilities may change over time, so it's a good idea to periodically check for updates or new features in Google Maps or other relevant apps.
