Travel Time Origin is incorrect

Travel time has thus far been excellent, but today it is using another address that I frequent, not my home location, which is frustrating.
I am an independent contractor that technically works form home but actually works in many locations. I do have a warehouse, and that is the address Calendar is using to calulate travel time even though I am at home (frustrating). I have my home address as my work address on my contacts card.
Any ideas how to fix this? Shouldn't travel time be from your current location?

Have you already gone into the Time and Date settings and checked and unchecked boxes for network time and auto time zone? It might just need a kick.

Date Time Original different in Lightroom and Bridge

Why is it that the Date Time Original in Lightroom is affected by whatever time zone the PC is set to? This is not the case in Bridge.
Example:
I fly from San Francisco to Washington DC and set my notebook's time zone from Pacific Time to Eastern Time upon arrival. I also make the necessary adjustment to the Time on my camera. I shoot a photo at 6pm in Washington DC, upload it to my notebook and import it into Lightroom. Lightroom shows a Date Time Original of 6pm. So does Bridge. So far so good.
I return back to San Francisco and set my notebook's time zone back to Pacific Time. In Lightroom, the Date Time Original of that photo is now 3pm. In Bridge, it still gives a Date Time Original of 6pm.
Confusing? Yes, especially when traveling across lots of different time zones. In some cases, the Date Time Original will change not only the time, but the Date as well (if the change crosses midnight).
Try it for yourself. Take a look at the Date Time Original of any given photo in Lightroom, change the Time Zone on your PC, and see the Time change for yourself.
Since Bridge and Lightroom are both Adobe products, I have to wonder why they display EXIF times differently. Is this a bug? Or intentional?

I have been als been plagued by LR displaying the capture time to be, say 3 AM (03:00), when I know I took the picture at 1 PM (13:00). I decided to try and see why this happens. With the help of Phil Harvey's exiftool, I can see that my Canon cameras embed the time into the EXIF data without any time zone information i.e.: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23.
Here is what I found:
If the image is now edited with Bridge, the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23-08:00 (time zone of the editing computer for the date the image was made. In this case the date was before daylight savings time started.)
When edited with GeoSetter (good for adding GPS information) the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23+02:00 (time zone for Cairo where the picture was taken.)
Lastly edited with LR, the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23-08:00
When the above images are viewed in LR, using PDT, they display the time as 17:09:23 except for the image tagged with the Cairo time, which displays 07:09:23. If the computer's time zone is changed the displayed time changes accordingly.
If the images are displayed with Photoshop CS3 all the times are correctly displayed as 16:09:23 as one would expect.
It appears that the factoring in of the time zone into the displayed time was a conscious decision by the Adobe designers. A decision that several of us are not happy with.

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.

This solved my questionRe: Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home Oct 23, 2013 8:43 PM (in response to theglenlivet12)
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.

Travel Time Not Showing on iPad

When I look on my phone, iCal blocks off my travel time so I know at a glance that I can't schedule anything there. However, I bought a new iPad mini tonight and it does not show the travel time blocked off. It will calculate the travel time and show me how long it will take if I select the appointment. But it won't show me travel time in the week view. What am I missing??

So how do we get this message to the wizards that need to do a bit more programming work? Travel time (which was around years ago and suddenly disappeared about 4 OS's ago) is super. But markroos is right: If it doesn't show up on the mobile devices we love, it is useless. Because, duh, we don't take our iMacs on the road with us, do we?

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...

How do I get a calendar notification with travel time/traffic info?

Hi everybody,
I saw an IOS 8 screenshot showing a calendar reminder in the lock screen that not only showed the upcoming calendar event info, but also said something like "to be in time, you should leave at 11:31". On the web page showing that screenshot, it was also said that this travel time info takes the current traffic info into account.
When I add a calendar event, I'm setting the proper event address plus the travel time option based on my location, and I'm also setting a calendar alert to something like "Notify me 1h prior leaving time". And actually, I'm getting that notification - but without that neat info when to leave exactly (which seems to include the current traffic info as said above)!
To be clear, I'm not talking about the traffic conditions WIDGET. This works flawlessly on my iPhone 5s with IOS 8. I'm talking about a lock screen calendar reminder that included the time to leave for an appointment!
I'm inserting the screenshot here (it's actually in German as I am from Germany):
Can anybody help on how to get those calendar reminders?
Best,
Gero

Hello gerofromronnenberg
To see that information, you would need to swipe down to bring up Notification Center to bring up the time that you should need to leave your current location.

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.

Travel time not showing in calendar

There is no "travel time" field to toggle on/off when I book an appointment in the calendar app.

What have you done to try and fix it? Have you tried resetting your phone or restoring the OS?

Travel time not showing on iPhone

However when the event syncs to my iPhone the travel times DO NOT appear in the Calendar App.
Any suggestions ?

IOS 8 Calendar : Time to leave / travel time alert does not show

iPhone User Guide: For iOS 8.1 Software
Calendar at a glance: pg. 78
"Add an event. Tap +, then fill in the event details. If you add a location and choose Alert > Time to leave, Calendar reminds you of the event based on the current travel time to get there."
On my phone, "Time to leave" is not available as an event alert option. I'm using the iCloud calendar, not Google, not Exchange. I've entered various addresses (selecting the suggested address) and my event even shows a Maps preview of the destination. Still, I do not see a "Time to leave" alert option.
According to the user guide quote above, "Time to leave" should be visible.
I see that there is a Travel Time detail for the event and I can specify a starting point where I think I'll be for my future event, but the drawback is that this method only works statically.
Thanks,
iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2

I have this option on my iPad 4 but not on my iPhone 5.

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!

Trying to understand travel time in iOS Calendar

I could be wrong, but I thought Maps/Calendar in iOS 7 was supposed to figure out how far you were from the location of an appointment and calculate an alert based upon travel time, so if you had a 7:00 appointment and you were 15 minutes away, you'd get an alert at 6:45.
If so, how do I get this to work...or am I mistaken?
Thanks!

I am still confused since looking at the output of
$ sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain

The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

Seems to indicate that the graphical.target comes alive at 12 seconds - yet the login prompt on the graphical screen is visible at 7 seconds! I could believe that after the login prompt the network may still be being initialised, but something still doesn't look right compared to the elapsed time for the graphical target.

Ical travel time

Travel time is not working in ical on mavericks... i have turned it on but it's not displaying anything on the calendar?

As of now, iCal will only add maps and travel time events based off of the Apple Maps database or from your contacts.
Example, you are meeting a friend for lunch at "Temple Cafe"
Once you add the name for the event, under the title, you can click in the menu to "Add Location", instead of typing the address, just type, "temple cafe". iCal will do a search based off the Apple Maps database to find a location matching that description, once it is displayed, you can click on the name and it will add the address of the location. After that, you can go into the time options and add in the travel time, it will automatically be based from your last known location, or you can add your own custom time.
Alternatively, you can also search your contacts when you are typing in the location field and it will add addresses that are based off of your contacts list.
Unfortunetly, as of now, you cannot add/type the address within the location field and have it associate with the location. I am sure this is a feature that will be added in a future update.
Note: if you are having trouble finding the name for the location, open apple's Maps app and search there first, once you find the exact name apple's database has your location under, type the same name within the iCal location.
Hope this helps

I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home?

I work nights. Can I switch Travel Time in iCal from work to home? I really don't have any appointments from 11 pm to 7 am when I work, but I don't want to switch when my day starts in preferences as no one else in my family works nights.
Any suggestions?

i haven't seen that option either, and it would be a great feature. (traveltime in a different colour...)
i do it like this: in the caption of the appointment i put the time that the gig starts. the actual time stretch of the appointment is the appointment including traveltime.
it's not the best way, but it works...
good luck

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.
