I use my google search app for a lot of things and something I find my self using a lot of is google letting me know how early I need to make a appointment. I use it to help create a bare minimum of when I need to leave. Google now is seeing my google calendar and in the card view it shows I do have a appointment and it does know the location. It just won't send a notification to the notification center saying you need to leave at least 25 minutes early to get there on time. It did used to appear but now it won't do that. I went though all my settings and I have google just about every approval and turned everything on, but it just won't give me that warning. Is there something I need to do or turn on to ensure I get that warning along with the when I need to leave my current location. Thank you again.

I don't have an answer for you, only a couple of questions:

1. When did the feature stop working for you?
2. If it was prior to iOS 8 or 8.1, is it possible that the app needs to be updated to work correctly with your iOS version?

. It was after the 8.1 update maybe but the weird thing is it gives me times I need to travel for frequently visited locations like my house or work. That is working fine but not for locations on my calendar. I tried reinstalling the app and I gave all the permissions to google to track my location and everything. That is the odd. It knows my position and the location but just won't pop up.

Dumb question, but you didn't mention if you checked notifications settings in the Settings app to give Google the notification alerts it needs. Apologies if you already did this, but that would be the first place I would check.

I didn't think I did but I gave Google every access it could want. Location services are always on for it. And it has full access to my notifications. Right now Google says I have a appointment and s
It sees when and where I have to be. Another card is saying it will take 15 minutes to get home. It does so the distance and time calculation but it won't put that information with my calendar information.
