Integrating calendars and maps for Google and Apple:
I just learned a new trick that I’m hoping will be helpful to those readers who aren’t already aware of it.
On your Apple device, when you add a location to an event in your Calendar, a map and weather information are automatically added. An alert is set so you are notified when it’s time to leave. You can also add travel time to the event’s duration.
Google Maps can be integrated with your Google Calendar by first logging in with the same email account. Every time you add a new event to your Google Calendar, Google Map will automatically track the invitations and events where the location is included. To add a location manually just click on the event in the calendar.
Click on the option to preview the location and directions in Maps. You can add the directions to your calendar or send them to your phone.
