Calendar travel time from home

When entering an event in the calendar and adding an address. I want to show the travel time driving from home but the only options is to show the travel time wlaking or driving from work. How do I get the travel time from home?

From the Help:
So it looks like you need a Home event up to 3 hours before or no address in Contacts?

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?

Calendar travel time in both directions

So the feature allowing the addition of travel time to an event is great. But in order to be able to use calendar for all my scheduling needs, I really need to be able to do the converse, that is add in the travel time from an event (either back to the origin or to the next appointment).
Is there any way to add this? I'd settle for a simple reflection of the 'To' time to start with.
The auto calculation feature isn't going to help because I need to retroactively update a year's worth of calendar entries. It is based on your current location, among other difficulties.

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.

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.

Calendar travel time location

When I create a calendar item in Mavericks it is calculating my travel time from work however I will be traveling from home. How do I update the location for the travel time calculation?

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.

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?

How do I sync travel time from iCal to calendar on an iOS device?

Hi, I really like the feature travel time in iCal. Unfortunale it only works great on the Mac. Therefor I only get the correct time when to leave when I am at home.
I have an example:
I made an apointment that is 2 hours and 3 minutes travel time away on my iMac. This is actually transferred to my iPhone correctly.
I also added an apointment with a lication in the same city. On the iMac it shows me that I will need 8 minutes from the first meeting to the second apointment and that it will remind me in time to leave. Everything seems fine. But when I look in calendar on my iPhone it will remind me 1 hour and 8 minutes before the meeting starts. That does not make any sense.
I thought that maybe iOS calendar adds the usual time set to remind me and adds the driving time. This is not the case since the usuall time is set to two hours. On the iMac the usuall time to remember me is set to one hour. It is probbably coming from here that it adds the hour but it does not make sense.
Does anynbody know how to use the travel time funktion properly for all devices?
I am also lokking for a way to set the reminder to travel time plus X minutes. It would make sence to get reminded when to get ready and not when you sit at your desk and are actually supposed to get out of the house...

Ok, I found the answer.
iCal will push the travel time plus the standard reminder time to the iOS device. So I set the standard remeinder to 10 minutes and I know whenever I am reminded that I have 10 minutes to get going. We can only hope that Apple will work some kinks out of this feature and we will be able to set a standard reminder for all appointments with travel time like "Leave in 30 minutes" to finish up what your doing or wrap up a meeting and then "leave in 5 minutes" to really get going. If you have the same issue write to apple.com/feedback. Maybe they will work on it if the get more feedbacks...

Calendar travel time affected by others

Hi
Just updated laptop (MacBook Air) and MacMini (acting as server) to Yosemite. All good, except noticed that when I want to enter travel time into the calendar (hosted on my server) which is usually taken automatically from my previous appointment or home address, it uses the address of a colleague (also using the server).
This colleague's calendar is not selected - but when looking at the travel time it would appear that her appointments are having an affect!
I did look for a 'button' to advise Apple - but couldn't see it.
Anyone else found this calendar problem??

How to turn on Calendar Travel Time?

So I'm fully updated now on the software (Mavericks, current 2013 iMac) but travel times don't appear in my calendar. Is there a setting I need to turn on? I've looked through the settings within the calendar app and don't see anything. What am I missing?

I noticed that the travel times are active when you insert exactly the destination address and the system/maps recognize it (and you understand this because you can see below the mini map). So in this way, I was able to insert the travel time.
But probabily there is an additional bug, because calendars want to check the travel time only starting from my work address and not from home address...

Calendar - Travel time

In Maverick 10.9.2, Calendar has a new field for the appointments (Travel time = 1 hour or more).
In iOS 7.1, Apple has forgotten (!!!) this very usefull function.
The consequence, is that all appointments in the Maverick calendar are only visible without "Travel-time" in the calendar of IOS.
Apple, can you fix??

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.

Calendar travel time alerts syncing wrong...

Calendar Alerts that I set up on my Macbook Pro are not sinking properly with the Calendar App on my iOS devices. For instance: If my travel time is 54 minutes and I set-up an alert for 1 hour before my travel time on my MacBook Pro, then my iOS calendar alert syncs the alert for 1 hour and 54 minutes before my travel time.

hi Jake,
i am having exactly the same problem with my new iphone 4 updated to 4.0.2, I set the reminder to go off at a certain time and it goes off a couple of hours later, or as you say, it goes off when you open the calendar. Mine tells me GMT +1 for some reason. BOth computer and iphone set to the correct time.
Anyone help us on this?
cheers

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.
Stephen. In reply to this:
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.
