Maps not showing in Mavericks Calendar

Tried all suggestions, but still nothing for me I'm afraid

Oops, no it has worked, thanks all who contriburted.

Yep, it only works with WIFI turned on. I turned it off though and it still works ...

I do not think that you can just type an address into the Add Location area. You start to type but then you must select the choice it makes for you. If you even edit a suggestion it will not work. It will only work when it can be selected from a list unchanged. And the biggest problem is Maps is bad at Geography and just doesnt know some locations and if it does not suggest it - you cant have it. Thats what I have found.

Hi Brian1355,

Has I noted earlier you can edit the Location by typing.

You can add the full address your looking for but yes you are correct that sometimes that address

will be "unknown" not marked within the Maps app.

If you let it mark the closest place, then click on the Map to open Maps app & fine tune here.

You can Drop a Pin & add it's address.

This does not mean that this will showup in Calendar-maps though!

From within Maps app though you can report the problem which ever it maybe?

By clciking on the Pin then selecting Report a Problem or via Menu>Maps>Report a Problem.

The place I was looking for was not found in Google or Bing maps, sometimes the road is missing

or wrongly named. The more each of us respond to incorrect info the better this will become.

That worked! you can't just type in your own address, you must use the system generated address as you start typing it in. Now my next question is, does the traffic time update?

Yes it should, I haven't tried it recently "Mavericks" but in iOS yes Apple states the both Maps

in Mavericks and iOS use Real Time Trafic updates: http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/#maps

and http://www.apple.com/ios/maps/

So if an address has a suite number or apartment number the calendar location feature is not usable? Any work arounds?

here is what worked for me:

1> Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out

(You'll be prompted multiple times to delete or keep the stuff that is on your Mac. Keep it.

2> Reboot

3> Go to System Preferences > iCloud and Sign In

4> Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Location Services and ensure Safari & Maps & Calendar are all enabled

5> What the heck, reboot again

6> Now open Calendar, go some time in the future and create a new event. Now, in location, SLOWLY type "London" ... if everything is working you'll see the little icon that shows the system is searching and then in a second or two it'll return a number of locations that have London in the name. Select one of them. Now you should see a Map!

I've had this problem. I fixed it by deleting any location info then when the word location reappears retyping the address with the city or town name first then wait for it to come up with any suggestions and it is very slow with no smart suggestions to allow for typo's so the address must be spelt correctly or maps will not find anything at all.

Also it is using Apple maps data which at this time is hopeless. It only has road names and no streetview so if you need directions to an industrial estate in say Swindon you have to know the road name that the business is on rather then just the name of the industrial estate and there are a lot of missing road names as well just for good measure.

It's going to take Apple a few years to get good at mapping.

Reboot your computer. worked For me. silly but i bet it fixes your issue. thanks

My issue is addresses which are not a perfect match for an address in Apple's database don't get recognized. Short term fix - start typing the address and then choose from one of the Apple suggested addresses on the popup list (and not from the Recent entries). If you don't choose one of Apple's matches, it doesn't get recognized. Long term fix - I submitted an Apple bug for them to improve address recognition.

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.

I think you were onto something (way back in 2013!) It looks like a bug, because switching off Internet sharing (or wi-fi) should have nothing to do with the problem (as MacMillsy politely observed.) If it is a bug, I can confirm that Apple have done nothing to fix it in the three years since this thread was created. I'm on El Capitan (10.11.6) and I'm having the same problem. I just turned off wi-fi (which stopped Internet Sharing in the process), and suddenly the address location autofill suggestions started working again (via the Ethernet connection presumably, as that's now the only connection to the Internet).

When your Mac hosts a wi-fi network with Internet Sharing, it can't be connected to the Internet via wi-fi at the same time. (That's explained in this article.) That's fine for me because my Mac is connected to the Internet via Ethernet. But it makes me wonder if the Calendar app is still trying to get location information via wi-fi, not realising that it can't connect that way. That's pure speculation, and would suggest some pretty poor programming on Apple's part, since the OS should provide seamless Internet access to the Calendar app regardless of how it's connected.
