There was a post made a while ago that has been closed for inactivity I think: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8096976
I would like to just create this new post to reopen the discussion.
MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar (2018 or later)
Thanks for the tips, I'll look into those. As of now, the best solution I've found is to put an http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=[LAT],[LONG] link in the URL field.
First, why is this not a "discussion board"? The url of this site is discussions.apple.com.
You would have to read the ASC Terms of Use to figure that out.
What I'm asking is whether there may be an alternative to this or a way to get it to work
That is an appropriate question, but I don't think you are going to find one.
I'm not sure what "underlying Calendar database" you would edit.
Geographic information is processed using Core Location. There wouldn't be a separate location system built into Calendar. Calendar does use Core Location to set "Geofences" around locations for alarms when you arrive or leave a location. It also uses the Geolocation lookup to translate place names to locations. So, it is already using the "underlying" geographic framework, just not how you wish.
Only Apple can change that.
There's nothing to discuss. This isn't a "discussion" board.
That feature doesn't work.
We can't change the code to implement that feature.
You can send feedback to Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html
I don't think that it is as straightforward as that.
First, why is this not a "discussion board"? The url of this site is discussions.apple.com.
What I'm asking is whether there may be an alternative to this or a way to get it to work, for example: editing the underlying Calendar database, etc.
I think it's still a discussion board.
I don't know why one would want to do that in Calendar... but I only use Calendar to help others here.
Maybe an AppleScript to get info from Calendar & put in Maps?

Or maybe Google?
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/calendar/
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/maps/maps

Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
Entering a location in Calendar using latitude/longitude GPS Coordinates is broken
