Set Start Position to Calculate Travel Time in Calendars

Hi All,
I am quite impressed with the new traveling time feature in Calendars, however I cannot seem to get the best out of it.
Is there a way to reset the start position for the calculations, I am thinking about the following senario;
Three appointments in the same day Appointment one calculates OK but appointment two calculates the start from the office and not the location of appointment one. Same thing happens with appointment three.
What I want to do is set the first appointment, calculate travelling time, set the second and calculate the traveling time from appointment one and then the same with appointment three.
The only way I have found to do this is to jump back and forward between calendar and maps and manually calculate like I used to do before this update.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

From Calendar's help:
To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.

  • How do I set up travel time in Calendar?

    I have set up several events and included the event address.  When I click on the travel time box, the gear spins for a second or two and quits.  I then have a pull down that allows me to select an arbitrary amount of time.  Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to look at directions which I thought was an advertised feature.
    Thanks for any assistance/adcive to can

    Roger make sure you have location services turned in in System Preferences / Privacy and make sure the Calendar is checked.
    As a test, I turned mine off and then I saw the same problems on the Calendar as you described. Once your turn them on, you should be able to add locations and a map will appear at the bottom of the screen where you edit the event details. You can double click the map to open Maps and get directions.

    Some events give me the Travel Time option, but only from "Work" and not "Home".  My actual work events don't give me the Travel Time option, maybe because iCal thinks I am already there?
    I played around for a bit and think I found an answer. If I have no events on a day and I schedule one for anytime until 6:00pm, it will give the travel time from Work. If I add an event or change the time to 6:01pm or later, it will give the travel time from home.
    If there are other events with locations already on the calendar and I add a new event reasonably close to one of them, it will give the travel time from the location of the previous event.
    I haven't found a way to change the "from" location without adding another event or just typing in a travel time manually, but overall the automated system works pretty good.

  • How does Calendar calculate travel times?

    When I select the Travel Time function for an event in Calendar, it tells me there is a 35 minute travel time from home to my scheduled event destination. However, when I transfer over to the Maps application to get the directions from my home, the Maps application tells me the travel time is 52 minutes, which is more accurate.  I have no previous events on my calendar that the application could use as a reference point, and the time of the event is outside of the working hours I setup in Calendar, so it is not using my work location as a reference point.  What can explain the travel time discrepancy between Calendar and Maps?

    If I understand the feature correctly, this is not an Exchange supported function.  Therefore, you won't be able to use this option for Exchange.  iCloud Cal supports it.  Interestingly, i too have both calendars and use exchange almost entirely as well - when I change to entering an exchange appt, the travel time option disappears totally.  It sounds like you have the options still available. 
    Sorry, no answer to your problem here but maybe this adds another piece of the puzzle.

  • Travel time in calendar events

    I've created a Calendar event and entered a location.  I see the map of the location in the event window.   When I go to select a travel time, it says "34 minutes from Work."    So, it's pulling my work address from Contacts.  Nice, but I'm not traveling to this event from work, I'm leaving from home.
    I've been poking around for about an hour, and I can't see how to change this to use my home address as a starting point.  I've checked Contacts and confirmed that my home address is indeed identified as "Home."  It's the first address listed on my Contacts record.   I've looked at preferences for Maps, Calendar, and general system preferences, and don't see a way to set a default location, and there's nothing I can find in the editing of the event that lets me choose Home instead of Work.
    Anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

  • Travel Time in Calendar not working

    Not sure if this is a common theme amongst others but when I place an address into an event in calendar and then go to add travel time, the menu using my location times out and disapears.

  • Travel Time in Calendar With gmail

    Have a question, wondering if anyone else has the same experience. I have been using calendar with both iCloud and Gmail, on my iOS 8 iPad. The travel time in the calendar app is great but it only seems to work on the iCloud calendars, yet on my MacBook I can add travel time onto an appointment in Gmail, on iOS it doesn't even give me the option. Is there any way to make this work or is it the result of an incompatibility between Apple and Google?

  • Travel Time in Calendar

    I would like the Travel Time feature to offer me more than one location (Home) to travel to an appointment such as "office" - is it possible to add new starting locations?

    I saw that calendar does this if you have already have an apointment on that day that includes a location. If you would have the appointment "Go to office" in your calandar this should actually work. Of course this is not really what you are looking for...

  • Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home

    I am having a problem with travel time in Calendar. It will autopopulate with where it thinks I should be. I don't work during the daytime, and when I schedule in an entry for work, it wants to have me leaving from work. Is there any way to change it manually to start from home instead?

  • Need to get travel time of each echo

    Hi,  
    I want to calculate the travel time of an echo.  
    The data I have, is a triggered pulse and 4 echoes in a single graph at different  time intervals.  
    Now, I want to calculate the travel time of each echo from triggered pulse start.  
    Method I want to use,  
    1. Calculate first trigger point.
    2. Get the end of waveform and gate the data.
    3. Again repeat step 1 and 2 , to get first trigger point.  
    Is there any way to calculate the point where waveform ends or is almost constant?  
    Or, is there any other method to calculate travel times.  
    I am new to LabVIEW.Please help.  
    Thanks, Amit

    Answers to your questions will depend on how you have your acquisition set up. 
    I general, I would expect that you'd set up the system to wait for a loud noise and then take some finite amount of samples (e,g, 100k samples at 10kHz) that will be sure to capture the echos. In this scenario you will alway get the same number of samples. 
    You can get the amplitudes of the data by using "get waveform components.vi" or "convert from dynamic data" and then use "threshold 1D array" to find the rising edge of the echo peaks.

  • Calendar travel time and places

    1. I keep my working schedule in Calendar. How can I tell Calendar that I return back home after work? With travel time activated it always calculates travel time from my office instead from my home. My office is north of my home, most private events happen south of my home, so the time difference can be as much as 30min. Work finishes at 5pm, I'm home at 5:20 and I have an event at 7pm 20min away from home. Calendar now tells me I have 40min to drive instead of just 20, because it thinks I'm still at work even though the event "Work" has ended at 5pm...
    2. Calendar does not find places even though I use the exact same phrase as it's shown in Maps. One example is the Belgian race track "Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps". I know there are work-arounds for this problem as I could just use the next town. But there are places where simply no town is around. Take the English racetrack of "Cadwell Park" for example. Typing "Cadwell Park" suggests a place in Georgia instead of the English racetrack that shows up as a POI in Maps.
    I have the same problem with a local restaurant. Again, I know where the place is, but for user comfort I'd like to have Calendar regocnize POI's shown in Maps.

  • Travel time in Maverick Calendar - when away from home / office

    Travel time is a nice feature but not working properly from my perspective. Some situations I can´t solve, perhaps anybody could help.
    1) I am flying out of Sydney Airport at the morning to lets say Melbourne. Calender will calculate travel time from home to airport as it should be. My next appointment is in Melbourne. Need to calculate travel time from Melbourne Airport to that appointment, but can´t add Melbourne Airport as an adress.
    2) When I am f.ex in Melbourne overnight I add an all day event with Hotel details (adress included). I need to calculate travel time from my Hotel to an appointment next morning. System is not offering the Hotel adress as an option.
    Thanks for any ideas...

    As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.
    There was a similar message, with reference to type "file" in the URL, but this one is differnent.
    Have you ever used a 3rd-party utility, or followed any instructions to edit some files, to change Time Machine's default behavior?

  • Mavericks calendar travel time

    There is a bug when I play with the travel time in Calendar. I select a travel time of 30 minutes for one event. Then I change it to "none" or 1 hour. I click apply. A few seconds later the travel time goes back to 30 minutes. No matter how many times I change the travel time, it always goes back to 30 minutes. It is extremely frustrating to see this happen. I would appreciate it if this gets received somehow to be fixed in a later update.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • How to get calendar travel time (set up in Mavericks) to show on iOS 7 calendar?

    I was wondering how to get calendar travel time (set up in Mavericks) to show on iOS 7 calendar? If I change a location in mavericaks it is updated in my iOS 7 calendar, but if I add travel time to an appointment, that does not show up on my iphone. This seems like a big miss for apple if this is the case. I could maybe understand not adding the ability to add travel time in iOS 7, but not being able to see the travel times you set up seems very incomplete. Any ideas or insight?

    Hello Cheer,
    I don't believe the table changed when migrating from Access.  I had two tables before the migration, one was for the SwitchBoard Manager and the other table was for the database table.  I used the Switchboard to navigate to different menus, such
    as the Main Form, Power Form, Server Form, etc.  Let me know if I can provide any other information to help you narrow this down for me.   
    Thank you for your assistance.
