Has BlackBerry forgot Switzerland in Calendar Events - Location?

Hi all,
I just recently returned to a BlackBerry Q10 after about 3 years using android devices. I really missed the physical keyboard and the shortcuts that came with it.
After a few days of use I have discovered a problem with Calendar Events. When I enter an address here in Zurich, it should become a link that will launch BB Maps. It does not. I have tried various combinations of street, city, postal code etc. Even when I press the Map icon to search for an address and paste it into the event location, it does not become a link.
I also tried my old address in Paris and that didn't work either. It seems that the OS does not deal with addresses outside North America.
It would be OK if I could change the default map application to BeMaps Pro but I can't figure out how to do that either.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea or has had similar issues.
Cheers
Bruce

Hi,
Yes it works if you put in a North American address.
Example:
1. Create a new calendar event.
2. For "Location", type "2100 Yonge Street Toronto".
3. Save new event.
4. Open the event. The location will now be in blue font.
5. Tap the location text and BB Maps will open and display the location on a map.
It does not seem to work with Swiss or French addresses even if I search using the Map app first and paste the location into the event. I tried a UK address " 58 Baker Street London" and that worked.
Let me know if it works the same for you.
Cheers
Bruce

  • Better Calendar Event Location Suggestions?

    OSX 10.9.1 - Calendar
    When adding a new event in Calendar, it helpfully offers suggestions as I'm typing in the event location. In my case, I type in "Starbucks" (for real), it churns about for a second, and then offers 7 Starbucks locations. Top suggestion is in Nevada (I'm in NY), second suggestion is in Australia, then several options of locations that are in my metro area at a distance.
    However, there are 2 Starbucks locations that are very near my home. I can't get either of these two to appear in the suggestions no matter what I try. Clearly, it knows my metro area, and in the Maps app, it pinpoints me with no problem. But I can't take advantage of this feature.
    Is there any way to help the suggestions? It doesn't know what I mean when I type "Starbucks <myarea> NY", or "Starbucks <myzip>".
    Thanks!

    I've had the same problem.  It's very frustrating when I type in the name of an Italian restaurant that is 30 min away and the address suggestions I get addresses across the state, across the country, and ITALY!  I shouldn't have to add a contact record for every place that I need directions for.  That defeats the purpose of having the event location.  I could just pull up the contact and open the address in Google Maps.  The Calendar event location field needs some work.  Why can't it either offer more options or at least check the area around your current location first?

  • My macbook pro is running 10.10.1 and has stopped syncing reminders and calendar events to iCloud.

    My macbook pro is running 10.10.1 and has stopped syncing reminders and calendar events to iCloud. Changes made to iCloud directly DO update to my machine, so the communication issue is one way only. When I make a change to the calendar or reminders on my machine, it will often bog down and run slowly. I have done several trouble shooting steps without result. these include:
    Restarting my computer.
    Running Disk Utility diagnostics for both permissions and disk verification.
    Checking that my internet and network is working.
    Checking that I am properly logged in to iCloud with my ID on my machine and that I have set everything to sync.
    Checking my iCloud settings to stop syncing Reminders and Calendars and then setting them back to sync again.
    Any suggestions?

    1. Calendars in the On My Mac or On My iPhone/iPad/iPod category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google, will not sync with iCloud.
    2. Back up all data, then take all the applicable steps in these support articles:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
    iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
    Nearly all sync issues should be resolved that way. Please make sure you've taken all the steps and tested adequately before continuing.
    3. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
              File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
    from the menu bar. Quit Calendar.
    4. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Calendars
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.
    5. Launch Calendar. Your calendars will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check them.
    6. Import the calendars you exported in Step 3, if any, by double-clicking the files.
    7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in Step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Calendar event location not shown on iPod

    I use iCal to sync with my iPod so that I have all of the information about my scheduled events, i.e. the room number and building of where I need to be at a certain time. In the past this has worked just fine, but for some reason now when I look at my calendar events on my iPod, I can only see the Summary, Date, Time, and Notes. Where did the location go? How can I get it back? Thanks!

    The location isn't displayed on the iPod. If you want it you need to move the location information into the description. This has been reported to Apple as a bug, but they haven't done anything about it. The location is actually syncd properly with the iPod, it just isn't displayed.
    I wrote an Applescript/Perl script that can be used to update your calendar files so the location is in the description. After you sync normally you open your iPod on the desktop and drag the Calendars folder onto the Applescript and it processes all of your calendar files. It is free.
    It is at my website <http://its.usc.edu/~bbellina/downloads>.

  • Calendar - Event Locations as addresses don't link?

    I thought addresses in all sorts of places were supposed to link to google maps seamlessly.
    Why don't the locations of my events exhibit the same functionality? Would be nice to have.

    I'm just writing to agree, hoping someone at Apple will read this and add this to the list of updates for iPhone's 2.1.0+ software. It would be nice to have the Maps application search automatically so I don't have to stop and try to type out the entire address or wait for a search to complete, especially when I'm in route already.

  • My new iPhone 4 has no   button to add calendar events and downloaded games apps make a whining noise when I open them. Any help welcome

    Got an iPhone 4 yesterday and cannot add events in calendar. There is no + button and have searched in settings but cannot see how to do it.
    Also downloaded game apps open with a whining noise that lasts for about 30 seconds plus. Had to turn volume off as its very annoying. Any help please

    Did you try updating the firmware or resetting all settings
    at: Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset all settings?
    It will not remove any data, just settings and things like ring tones etc

  • Address won't show up when creating a calendar event

    I created an event like "Lunch". As location I started typing the friend's name, as her address is stored in Contacts on my iPhone (and synced over iCloud). The friend's address, though, won't show up. Besides, a friend's address, whose first name is the same, was shown.
    This means that just the address that I'm looking for is not shown, but some others do show up! It doesn't make any sense to me.
    Any hint? Is it kinda bug (for what??) or what else?

  • Calendar search not finding calendar events older than a year.

    Calendar search cannot find events older than a year.
    neither does spotlight search.
    iphone 4s 16GB ios version 7.1.2
    ipad 32GB with retina (purchased on 2012) ios version 7.1.2
    Does anybody has the same issue?
    Calendar events over one year old are not found when searched on iOS. Neither on the iPhone nor the iPad. Although they are found on a mac running mavericks calendar app.
    All events are displayed when going directly to the month and viewing all the events of each day, but she search feature, the one accessed through the little magnifier, simply cannot find any event older than a year.
    I have multiple events in my calendar and I tested them and the last I can find is within 365 days of today. after that events cannot be found.
    steps to reproduce:
    1. go into the calendar app on the iPhone and add an event but use a date date 13 months older than the current date. Save the event.
    2. verify the even is created by looking at the day of the event
    3. on the top right corner of the calendar app select the magnifying glass and try to search the event by typing any word you used on the title of the event just created
    4. search result will display No Results
    5. exit the calendar and access spotlight search on the home screen by using the "pull down" gesture from an area outside of the dock, including the top row of app icons. Type any word you used on the title of the event just created
    6. search result will not display the event
    Thanks

    this has already been answered.
    please ignore my question.

  • Cannot script Calendar Event 301

    We were looking at writing a script which would default the Reference URL in an event to itself if no Reference URL had been supplied. Users can add an event, but then they cannot go and edit it after it has been added.
    However, Calendar Event (301) is not in the list of classes to choose from when creating an event.
    Any thoughts on how to write a script in reference a calendar event?

    you could clean up the stuff, like cache,web history, history chat in social network, messages. and your activities on fastlane.

  • My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
    Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

  • BlackBerry OS6: Repeating Calendar Events Broken?

    Hi everyone,
    I have been experiencing the strangest issue when trying to add a calendar event in BlackBerry OS6, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to work around this issue.
    Basically, the problem happens when trying to book a repeating event at a time where the current GMT time differs from the current local time. For example, I am trying to book an event that happens every week at 10 pm edt on a tuesday, but BlackBerry 6 ends up booking the event every week at 10 pm EDT the Wednesday instead, presumably because the GMT date does indeed occur on the Wednesday. When I tried to set it to repeat on the Tuesday, it ended up repeating on both the Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving me out of further options.
    Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so, are there any good work-arounds My current solution is to have my event say it is on Monday so that it books on Tuesday, but this is undesirable because it is displaying Monday when you view the event series.

    Hi Kim,
    Good question. That .plist file is just a place where iCal keeps track of your preference settings. Sometimes that file gets corrupted and cause all sorts of strange behavior. Deleting the preferences is just a first thing to try when experiencing strange behavior. In iCal, resetting the preferences isn't a big deal. In some programs there are many layers of preferences so you might want to think twice before deleting, or at least write down all the preferences before doing so.
    Whether or not you need to delete depends on your problem (assuming you're having one). Are you? If so you might want to describe the problem here but it won't hurt to delete the preferences; you'll just need to reset them if you want anything set other than the default (eg I have time Zone support checked).

  • How do I stop Calendar overriding my Event location

    Hi
    When creating an event in Calendar, the software is quite 'helpful' in offering suggestions for the event location as I type.
    However, if I don't like any of it's suggestions, or wish to override the suggested location, the software seems to stamp it's feet and insist on formatting the location data the way IT prefers.
    How do I stop it doing that?
    For instance, I am attending an event at the "Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5EA"
    Calendar finds a very close match for this and replaces my location with
    "116 Pall Mall
    London
    England
    SW1Y 5EA
    United Kingdom"
    Apart from the excessive screen real estate taken up by those superfluous new lines, it doesn't include the name of the location - "Institute of Directors" - and it includes 2 countries - England and United Kingdom - that I don't need to know because I live here.
    Can I not keep my own preferred format in the location field?

    I just fixed this issue by turning off the location support on iCal on my iPhone. If all your devices are synced up that may be causing the issue.
    After turning off location support I was able to enter the address I wanted. It gave me a choice to stick with my address or choose from the list of suggestions. After refreshing iCal on my computer it displayed the correct address.
    Hopefully your fix will be that easy!

  • Locations in calendar events

    Why is it when I enter a calendar event in my exchange calendar locations aren't recognized but when I use any other non-exchange calendar when I enter an event and enter an address under location it shows the locations on a map?

    Tapping and holding the fingertip on the address will still give you an option to open the location in a map
