Alert me when I am in a new time zone

I travel a lot across different time zones. I would like my phone to alert me when I cross into a new time zone, which it currently does not. Does anyone know if this feature is available? I can’t seem to find it if it is.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

IOS Alarms Don’t Adapt to Time Zone Change If I set an alarm on my iPhone to (for example) wake me at 7:00am, and I am in Los Angeles (PDT), the alarm works great when I am on the west coast. However, if I travel to Atlanta (EDT), then if I set that existing 7:00am alarm, it doesn’t go off at 7:00am EDT - it still goes off at 7:00am PDT (which is 10:00am EDT). Since I like to have my iPhone (and Apple Watch, for that matter) show me the time where I am (not where I live if I am traveling), this is a real nuisance. In the above example, to have it actually make sense, I need to do the following on my iPhone whenever I travel to a different time zone: Delete the 7:00am alarm (so I don't accidentally have it go off at the wrong time where I am). Create ‘another’ 7:00am alarm (which will now work in the time zone where I currently am) when I get home, ‘delete’ that alarm I created in step 2 (so it doesn’t go off at 4:00am if I accidentally set it) Create ‘another’ 7:00am alarm (so that it reflects PDT in the above example). Sure would be nice if the alarm would just work at the time wherever I may be - regardless of the time zone.

Time to Leave alerts hours early For the last month or so, the “time to leave” alerts are popping up on my iPhone 13 many hours early. For instance, for an appointment at a destination that is 15 minutes away, I’ll get an alert 3.5 hours ahead saying it will take 3 hours and 19 minutes to arrive and I should leave now. When I click on the address in the event, I get a correct map with accurate location, destination, and travel time. Thoughts on how to get my calendar to recognize the same info?

time sensitive notification based on transportation method? I kept getting time sensitive notification on my iPhone. It's about my calendar events. For instance - "It will take 2 hr, 4min to get to 1234 Main Street... via transit". But the problem is, I always drive. It'll take me only 20 minutes to drive there. Therefore this kind of "time sensitive notification" is useless for me. Unless I can get iPhone to notify me based on the transportation method I choose. Is there such a way?

Perhaps something with built-in GPS element to combine these features may work.

There are several steps and information flows to consider, from geo-positioning on

a live map; and so on. Initially I'd thought the Calendar app might lend support, too.

Maybe someone who has a background with developing these feature sets may help?

An earlier reply I had been crafting, seemed to pale; with re-reading of your question.
