How to Add a Location to a Calendar Event

Follow these steps in order.

  1. Create or edit an event

    Start a new event or open an existing one that needs a location.

  2. Find the Location field

    On the event detail screen, look for the Location field.

  3. Type or search for the address

    Enter the address directly or search for a place name; this links the event to your maps app with the exact location.

  4. Get a travel-time alert

    Some calendar apps automatically send a time-to-leave reminder based on current traffic once a location is attached.

  5. Start navigation right from the event

    Tapping the saved location opens your maps app and starts directions immediately.

From event to directions in one tap

Once you add the venue to the location field, tapping the event jumps straight into turn-by-turn directions, so you never have to search the address again separately.

Especially handy for recurring appointments

For meetings or errands that repeat weekly, attaching the location once means every future instance of the event carries the same one-tap directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does adding a location automatically adjust my reminder time?

Some calendar apps factor in real-time traffic and automatically calculate when you need to leave.

Can I add a location without knowing the exact address?

Yes. Just type the name of the store or building and pick the correct result from the search suggestions.
