Apple Calendar.app not showing map if location is a city

[Manc]

Hi, I'm using version 1.15.4 and stumbled over an issue using appleLocation() if the location describes a city in general as opposed to a specific address within a city. The Calendar.app on macOS will not display the map, even if coordinates are provided.

I compared what a file generated with iCal looks like in this case in order to suggest a solution. I created a new event in Calendar, started typing "Los Angeles" into the location field and used the auto-complete feature to select the city.

First of all, the object for appleLocation() requires all of those properties: title, address, geo, radius, however, the iCal file produced by Calendar app would not use X-ADDRESS for the X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION property of the iCal file, only X-TITLE.

What ical-generator produces (abbreviated):

BEGIN:VEVENT
[...]
LOCATION:Los Angeles\nCalifornia\, United States
X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=California\, United States
 ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=400;X-TITLE=Los Angeles:geo:34.052;-118.243
GEO:34.052;-118.243
[...]
END:VEVENT

What it should look like (I manually edited the file until it worked):

BEGIN:VEVENT
[...]
LOCATION:Los Angeles\, California\, United States
X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-APPLE-RADIUS=400;X-TITLE=Los Angel
 es\, California\, United States:geo:34.05223,-118.24368
GEO:34.05223;-118.24368
[...]
END:VEVENT

Note: Since there is no X-ADDRESS attribute, the LOCATION property should use a comma after Los Angeles instead of a line break, i.e. the format of LOCATION should be just <title> instead of <title>\n<address>.

My conclusion is, the address property should be optional. For a city, the method should be used like this:

iCalEvent.appleLocation({
	title: 'Los Angeles, California, United States',
	// address: undefined,
	geo: {
		lon: -118.24368,
		lat: 34.05223,
	},
	radius: 400,
});
