This is kind of hacky but...

If you're willing to schedule a Google Calendar event for wherever you want to go - and give it a location... Now will actually figure that out for you. It will tell you when to leave to get to that event (and forgo telling you the commute time to home).

You should be able to get the first by setting an appointment in your google calendar. It certainly gives me a heads up for traffic when I set things in there for destinations it recognises.

I'm actually surprised that location-based reminders aren't already part of Google Now. It seems like a really natural feature given everything else it already does.

I'd have to imagine that's something in the works. It likes to give me transit information heading to work or home, and seems to be fairly smart about it since I don't work a normal 9-5 schedule.

Have you tried onx?

I have not heard of that. Looks interesting, thanks!
