Add travel time block to meetings
Hi there,
a time block for the travel time would be very helpful for the appointment, so that the total time of the appointment can be planned better. The appointment would then be a total block, which would be divided into, for example, outward travel and appointment.
the travel time would be calculated based on the current position and the appointment location.

Apple Calendar also allows travel time and automatically suggests how much it will take based on the location and transportation method.
Currently in Akiflow, I have to create many small "Travel" events before and after actual events. It litters the calendar quite a lot and makes rescheduling these events very hard.

I really hope we get this feature soon!! When I used fantastical, I didn't realize how much I needed this feature in my life. Having to mentally add travel time to/from places so that I don't overbook myself is… overwhelming.

Posting this here in behalf of Perry:
For the travel time feature this would be using the location of the event to determine the time needed to drive (or walk, train, bus) to that location based on the previous event location. This would reserve the time on the calendar for the allotted time needed to drive. For reference, both Apple Calendar and Fantastical have this feature. It is also useful for a time to leave notification based on traffic.

+1 I love Fantastical for this and a couple of other features I've already upvoted like native apple watch and Ipad support + more widgets and two-way sync for apple reminders. Doesn't look like I can replace Fantastical for now for these reasons

Many of my daily meetings and events require travel time. I hope this will be integrated into Akiflow soon.

Hi Karl, thanks for your suggestion:) May I ask you from which tool you've taken the screenshot you've uploaded? Thanks.

Francesco Tisci: You’re welcome. The screenshot is from Google Calendar, and it is linked to reclaim.ai. Reclaim adds a default travel time of 15, 30 or 45min, but this feature is not based on the actual distance. A similar feature, which I suggested, already exists in the Fantastical App

Francesco Tisci: I especially like the version of this that's used in Morgen. It estimates time based on distance and mode of transport (you can only choose one, though). It also allows you to set a global buffer time to all travel events, so you can build in time for unexpected delays.
