Q: Turn off auto location in Calendar

How do you turn off the autofill location of the new Yosemite Calendar application? I type locations that are not addresses, but places I know and it keeps auto correcting them to random locations around the globe (regardless of whether I 'choose' the auto location or not. The lack of ability to turn this on or off is forcing you to use what apple wants you too...very google esq move.

    Thank you for raising the net-traffic/privacy issue.  There seems to be a lot of chatter (JSON?) back and forth with secret unnamed Apple net 17 addresses; at least they did put the traffic under https-style encryption.

     

    My primary objection was to the pop-up of choices cluttering the screen when I was not interested in such choices.

     

    Soap-box on:

    Then, the aha moment came; this is "New Coke" all over again.  We are confronted with some new and amazing feature, left to figure it out and no way to turn it off (revert to "Classic...")

    It's a stupid bug that we have to manually add a dash in the middle of an address to get it to not delete apartment numbers or office numbers.

     

    I'm sure all the programmers on the Calendar project all own mansions and wouldn't have friends who live in apartments and only see people on business who will visit them in their office. Why else would they make a product that did something this stupid???

     

    Oh! They didn't test it? Well that excuses everything!  NOT.

     

    A.M.

    (Who is getting irritated by the lack of decent testing in the whole software industry)
