  • determining an event time, an event location, and a default alarm time associated with a calendar entry of the calendaring application, wherein the default alarm time is configured to occur at a predetermined time prior to the event time;

    storing an anticipated current location of the computing device based on at least one of a default address stored on the computing device, a location of the computing device based on travel associated with a previous calendar entry, or location data received by an auxiliary device;

    calculating an estimated travel time from the anticipated current location of the computing device to the event location using route travel information;

    calculating an updated alarm time based at least in part on the estimated travel time; and

    replacing the default alarm time with the updated alarm time when it is determined that the updated alarm time occurs sooner than the default alarm time.
