One of the settings that you can add to a calendar appointment is a location. Not only can this serve as a reminder of where the appointment will occur, but you can also take advantage of the calendar’s integration with your device’s GPS information. When you have added a location to a calendar event and enabled a setting called “Time to Leave” then your iPhone can even tell you when you should leave so that you make it to the appointment on time. Our guide below will show you where to go to turn on this setting so that your calendar can give you a reminder when you should get on your way to that appointment.
