I use Google maps ALL THE TIME. I need to go somewhere: I set it up on my phone so I can see the ETA of the destination! That was I know what time I will make it there based upon when I leave. It gives me that 'deadline fear cortisol boost' to get shit done and leave the house!

By the time I’ve set up phone, earphones and watch to synch I’m often already at my destination. I’ve started entering the “leave” time in my calendar as the event time. I use google maps to estimate the time needed to get there and add 10-15 minutes. I add the actual appointment time in the title. Seems to be working well for me.
Same. People question me like I don’t know how to get anywhere. Sometimes I don’t bc that will take too much extra brain power that’s unnecessary and I dont have time for frustration and inattentiveness on the road. If i can see the time and directions I will get from point A to point B and know where I am on the map as well as my surrounding area in the most efficient way. If I do this before leaving the house I know my time limits.
Yes! I always do the same even if I know where I am going. Knowing how my time is going for arrival calms me down and helps me plan. Only been late and running a couple of times in the last few years!
