Apple Maps notifications / driving suggestions on apple watch

Hi,

Apple maps buzzes my apple watch with suggested driving times / locations every time I get in the car. It's terribly annoying, and I can't find a way to turn this function off. Most recent OS, most recent devices (apple watch 5 cellular, iphone 11 pro).

Thank you!

Maps notifications when driving Hi Hope somebody can help. My watch gets a Maps notification every single time I get in the car, if I’m near home it will be something like “26mins to work” or if I’m anywhere further from home it will buzz with a notification to tell me how long it’ll take to get home. It seems I’ve tried everything to make this stop; the Map notifications are off completely, I’ve toggled both ways & reset the watch, nothing. Thank you

maps When I use Apple maps for location/directions, my Apple watch goes into the same mode. This drains the battery quickly. How do I prevent my watch from doing maps/directions?

Watch ultra 2 compass doesn’t show parked car, but Apple Maps does I upgraded from Apple Watch 7 yesterday to the Apple Watch ultra 2. The “parked car on compass” feature worked fine until then. Since I am on the Apple watch ultra 2 (which I set up from a backup of my Apple Watch 7 and then updated it to watch OS 10.0.2.), the parked car location shows up on Apple Maps, both on my iPhone 13 and on the watch ultra 2, but it doesn’t show up in the compass app on the Apple Watch ultra 2, which is where I need it. can anyone help please? The typical advise on the settings in privacy and location are all set correctly (privacy and data / location services / system services / important locations) thanks ahead!

@Randy-12 - That turns off the notifications during navigation... but it doesn't seem to turn off the driving suggestion when I get to the car.
