Abstract
A map application is provided that receives calendars from one or more sources. Each calendar may include events, and each event may be associated with a location and a time period. The events may be a temporary event that may impact traffic around the location of the event for the time period associated with the event. When a request for a route for a future trip is received by the map application, the map application may generate a route in response to the request. The map application may determine if any of the events associated with a calendar impact the route. An event may impact the route if the route passes near the location associated with the event during the time period associated with the event. If the route is impacted by an event, an alternative route is generated or a new time is recommended for the future trip.
