On Approach Notification Not Showing Travel Time
Make sure that Ascora app is granted access to Location Services so that On Approach Notification will have estimate time or travel time showing as part of the background calculation. If the app doesn't have access to location, it's not possible to calculate distance and time.
When Ascora App is granted access to location only "while using the app" it is important to not close the app otherwise, it will not be able to track location until it's openened.
