Customize GO

Modify walk times, add reminders, and change your speech notification settings to make GO better meet your needs.

For basic information about using GO, check out this article: Get Notifications about your Trip with GO.

Minimize GO

You can minimize the GO screen to allow you to browse the rest of the app without leaving your trip.

On iOS: Swipe down from the top of the GO screen or from the "next steps" bar in the center of the screen.
On Android: Tap your phone's back button or swipe back.
Tap the minibar at the bottom of the screen to enter GO again.

Note: This reminder is only available when you are in GO, which can be started if your trip is within the next hour.

Tap the bell icon to set up an additional reminder.

This will send you a notification a few minutes before you need to leave, so you have time to finish your coffee/brush your teeth/grab your coat!

Tap the "x minutes" walk box to adjust the estimated walking time. GO will remember the walk time you specified for the next trip!

You can also adjust your walk speed to improve walk time estimates across all trips. Here’s how:

Tap the gear icon at the top left of the main screen.
Scroll down to "Getting around" and tap "On the sidewalk".
Here you'll be able to adjust your walk speed. The settings below are the default ones.
Adjust your speed at your convenience.
Walk time estimates in GO will now reflect your adjusted walking speed!

Tap the speaker icon in the top right of the GO screen to disable the speech notifications.

You'll still receive push notifications about your trip. They'll be associated with your phone's default vibration and/or sound.
