I'm not sure if this was already discussed elsewhere, but besides favorite places, can anyone get Cortana to notify you when it's time to leave for an appointment, even when the full address is provided? I was never able to have a location being recognized in the calendar app (either the old 8.0 one or the new 8.1 one). Cortana only tells me to leave for work in the morning and home by the end of the afternoon.
Is it because I'm in the UK, but with the region set to the US? I've tried US and UK addresses, and none are recognized. I would love the calendar app to autosearch for location when you start writing it, the same way the Google calendar app does on Android. In this case you know that the location was recognized and Google Now actually pops up when it's time to leave.
Does anyone know anything about this? Maybe Talderon, from the other thread? And about the calendar app, do you know where to send a feature suggestion to Microsoft?
