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 after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.
graphical.target @12.315s
└─multi-user.target @12.315s
└─postfix.service @12.029s +285ms
└─network.target @12.026s

└─system-systemd\x2dbacklight.slice @3.907s
└─system.slice
└─-.slice
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.

  • How do I switch Travel Time in Mac Calendar from work to home?

    I recently installed Mavericks and have been using the new Travel Time feature in Calendar.  Today I ran into a problem, however.  I scheduled an appointment and put in the location address.  When I went to enter the travel time, it only gave me two options:  walking from work and driving from work.  There was no option for driving or walking from home.  This has never been a problem before.  What's going on here?

    From Calendar Help:
    Choose to see travel time from your starting location to the event’s location.
    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.

  • What is Travel Time when creating calendar event

    When creating a new calendar event there is a new option for Travel Time to be on or off...what does this do?

    Run http://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com task to get the file creation date and if older delete it or a Script Task that uses the .Net FileInfo
    CreratedDate method to find it Then you can use
    Precedence Constraints to either skip the file deletion or not.

  • How to sync Google calendar busy/free-time with iOS calendars?

    A friend and I want to share our busy / free-time. We've successfully set it up and sharing, and sharing works fine on our PC / Mac laptops via Outlook and iCal respectively. Same goes for webcal. While my friend who has an Android phone can also see my busy / free-time on his phone's calendar application, I cannot select his calendar for syncing to my iOS calendar via "https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect". When my friend's calendar security is set to "share busy / free-time only", his calendar shows up on my calendar list on the syncselect page as not available for syncing. When he shares his detailed view, I can select it for syncing.
    Is there a work-around so that I can see his busy / free-time on my iOS calendar just like I see it on my Mac iCal and on web-calendar? Appreciate input here ... Thank you. 

    I'm afraid that isn't possible.  iCloud will not sync your Google calendar and Google will not sync your iCloud calendar.  They are entirely separate systems.  If you want to sync your Google calendar with your devices, add your Gmail account to them (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>Google) and turn Calendar on.  Your Google calendar will then appear alongside your iCloud calendar in the Calendars app on your devices.

  • 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?

  • 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 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?

  • 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.

  • 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??

    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.

  • 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.

  • I am using calendar to estimate travel time but it does not recall my last location.

    This is a strange one.  I have an iCal event that clearly states where I am and maps it.  Yet the next event that has a location measure the travel time and path form my Boston home location although I am in NY with  prior meeting that shoudl overide my home location.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thansk for the help.

    Hi thierryhubert,
    If the Travel Time function in Calendar isn't calculating based on your current location, you may want to make sure that Location Services is enabled. You may find the following article helpful:

  • 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??

  • Need to understand HR Time-dependent data

    Hi All,
    I am trying to understand how time-dependent master data works with fact table/infocubes. 
    Suppose I have a simple cube with infoObject: 0EMPLOYEE, 0HRPOSITION.  And the data are as follows:
    <u>0EMPLOYEE..............0HRPOSITION</u>
    300............................101
    Futhermore, my 0HRPOSITION master data is time dependent with an attribute of 0FUND and the master data are as follows:
    <u>START-DATE....END-DATE.....HRPOSITION...FUND</u>
    01/01/2006........05/15/2006....101..................A
    05/16/2006........12/31/9999....101..................B
    And if I were write a query against the cube to show the Employee #, the Position #, and the Fund, I would <b>expect</b> the query result as follows:
    300.....101....A
    300.....101....B
    However, my actual query result is only one row.  Why?
    Please any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    BQ

    BQ,
    Since it is timedependent master data, it will show only one record that active record.( because current system date will align with only one entry in 0HRPOSITION )

  • ICal crashes when choosing travel time

    Whenever I enter an iCal event with a location, iCal identifies the location and the travel time to that location ... but when I click on the travel time to include it in the calendar item, iCal crashes. For awhile I was able to enter everything except travel time, save the calendar item, then re-open and click on the calculated travel time. But lately it crashes even when I save first and then try to add it.

    I submitted a bug report to apple on March 2, 2105 about this exact issue and they replied back that its Duplicate of 17894821

  • 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...
