Q: Maps not showing in Mavericks Calendar

Simply that, when I add location information to my calendar items nothing happens.  No maps, no travel times, no nothing.  They just sit there as static information.  Is anybody else having this problem, and has anybody fixed it?  There's another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23468878) with this same problem, but it fixed itself in that situation and was marked as answered.

    I have the same issue.

    I have tried copy and paste, writing the address myself, even different combinations and still nothing.

    I have also tried some well known locations like the Lonon Eye or Bickingham Palace. Still nothing.

    Have anyone also noticed that the Apple maps is really lacking location aware data?

    Hopefully this is just teething issues and will be fixed soon.

    I had the same problem. This worked for me:

    In order to get information like travel time etc. on an appointment that already exists in your calendar, you have to double-click on the line with day and time in the info window of this appointment to reveal the corrsponding drop-down menues. Hope this helps!

    Same issue for me as well, I have tried editing existing appointments and also tried adding new appointments. Either way I can't get the calendar to show maps.

     

    Anybody?????????????

    All that does is give stanard times, it is not location aware, like it should be.

    Same issue.

    The only adresses i can put in to get the wanted resault is adresses from my contacts. If i keep typing and there are no match in my contacts the field just goes static.

     

    I sit on a Mini late 2012 hooked on Ethernet.

    I have allowed Calendar at priv.settings - location settings.

    In this discussion we're not even getting this.  We just get a drop down box with 30, 15, etc. minutes.

     

    However, as for what you're asking, it decides to calculate from home of work depending on what time of day your appointment is.  If it's during work hours, it defaults to from work.

    Only time i get "from work" etc. is when i choose a adress from my contacts. I can't add a new street or city..it has to be from my contacts to work proper.

     

    So we got the same issue, only i got it working with my contacts adresses.

    1:Ok can you try and double-click on an Event in Calendar.

    2:Then double-click on the Location info.

     

    This should then bring up a window with the message

    (Calendar would like to set your current location) Click Yes.

     

    Then you should see a drop-down list of choices of location to pick:

    Then when you pick or type the Location (this sometimes gets a few errors first time round)

    But if you complete the name helps fine tune! This should now give you your maps.

     

    Then to get the Travel Time Click in the Time and Date area Below the Location this will give the List

    were Travel Time is located.

    Edit:

    I found the solution!

    My Mac Mini was using it's Ethernet to access internet, and my wi-fi was on but sharing the ethernet connection.

    I disabled internet sharing and then it worked!

     

    Wi-fi must be active and not sharing throu it.

    Be sure to allow Calendar in Location Services.

    Also try rebooting your computer. And as i said, wi-fi must be activated.

     

    One way to try if all is setup proper, is to open the Maps app and see if you can locate your self.

    I think you need to give it time I'm on "2012 thin iMac" my connection is 10 mb but works fast n smooth.

    Can you type London or what ever is closer to what you want, then click-on the Maps zone info from the

    Event to open it in Maps then try searching via search field to see if this helps.
