I'm wondering how to completely turn off Maps notifications on my Apple Watch 3. More specifically, every time I get in my car it tells me "X minutes to get to destination". How do I make it stop doing that? Here is a screenshot of my current Apple Watch Maps notifications setting.

Appreciate any feedback!

I dont think that is in the map settings. I think you have to turn off "Significant Locations" maybe?
Settings\Privacy\Location Services\System Services\Significant Locations

Or maybe Settings\Privacy\Location Services\Location Alerts\Show Map in Location Alerts?

I thought it was called Frequent Locations (maybe it changed with iOS 13)

Yeah, pretty sure this comes from the significant locations (frequent locations pre-iOS 13). Siri tries to anticipate where you're going and gives you traffic updates/destination time if it thinks you're going someplace you frequently go at that time of day.

Turning off significant locations should stop those notifications.
