How Google Calendar handles travel time today
A calendar event can contain a physical location and help you understand where you need to be. You can also add separate travel blocks to protect your availability.
Google Calendar travel time
Automatically block travel time around Google Calendar events.
Heldrey uses the locations and travel settings you configure, then protects the time you need to get to and from matching in-person meetings. Heldrey creates its own travel blocks. It does not turn on Google Calendar’s built-in travel-time feature.

Why manually created travel blocks become maintenance
Creating and maintaining those blocks is repetitive. When the meeting moves, the travel time needs to move with it.
The Heldrey rule
Automatically protect travel time around in-person meetings
Heldrey works on top of Google Calendar. The rule lives in Heldrey; the result happens in the calendar you already use.

Keep travel protection updated when the schedule changes
