"Time to leave" alert in calendars not working?!

Same issues - frustrating. "Time to Leave" is usually not listed as an Alert choice when I create an event, but then it is, or isn't, if I edit the event on another device or iMac, also alerts me or not on one device and not another. Can't figure out why it works and doesn't work. I just created an event and "Time to Leave" is not listed.

On another related note; typing this post on iPad Pro/Safari/iOS 10.2 is very problematic as far as the typing/keyboard interface is concerned. Always something...

Thank you, this worked!

Created Calendar event with location/address (note: no map is displayed) on my iPad Pro (iOS 10.2) and could not select "Time to Leave" as Alert status. Tried changing it on iPhone 6 (iOS 10.2) and not in menu. Then I tried changing it on iMac (macOS Sierra 10.12). Double-click event, click on date/time row, then Alert:, and sure enough there is "Time to Leave" in drop-down menu. Select that, close info window. Open event back up and its reverted back to "Alert: None". Agghh!! 😠 How does this thing work and then not work? I've had it set up fine before with "Time to Leave", show map with location, and not even alert me also.

These posts/topic should be under: iOS>Calendar forum.

This worked for me. However, both these settings were already on but here's what I did.

1. turn off Location-based alerts and Location-based suggestions.

2. Exit to the previous settings screen.

3. Go back and turn those settings on

4. Close the Calendar app (double-click the home button and swipe up on Calendar).

5. Open Calendar app and now "time to leave" is an option again.

This took me ages to work out as it was doing it on mine -

Location Services (scroll to the very bottom)

System Service

Turn on location based alerts and suggestions!

It's not that. They're all ON including "Location-Based Alerts" & "Location-Based Suggestions" under Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services...

Are you using the reminder app?

Also the iPhone iOS is at 9.2.1 - you may want to consider updating

I had the same problem. Go to settings / privacy / location services on / calendar. Once you go into the "location services on" section and select calendar you will be able to to calendar to use location services "while using app.

I did this. I am still having the same problem. It stopped working after the most recent update.

Thank you!!!! I couldn't get this to work at all and with your suggestion it's now working!

Thanx. Worked when I added a new entry to my calendar, but can't alter ones already in calendar.

Try changing the address to make sure it has a red drop pin next to it.

That is my experience too.
