On Android with Google now you can do this. I haven't seen on ios.

I think it is based on events in your calendar. You will need addresses. Also maybe frequent locations in Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Frequent Locations

Hope that helps.

For me it just kind of happened out of routine. I had Home programmed in there and after going to work/class every day for a few weeks it just started telling me how long it would take to get to that location or how long it would take to get home. I don't know how to actually trigger it though.

Does it need to be turned on in settings>privacy>location services>system services?

Yes. Apple does not allow you to view Traffic information unless you opt-in to it being collected.

You don't need that turned on to get the notification centre's approx time to drive home etc.

It's a feature of iOS 7.

You have to set up your Home location for it to work.

I find it doesn't appear all the time.

How do you tell iOS where home is?

Add your address as a bookmark and call it Home.

I have my address set up on my contact so I think it just used that.

Good info. I have my home, work, etc.. setup in my address book but it still never displayed for me. I sold my iPhone 5, may not work on the 4 or may be a glitch or something. I'll take another look.
