Improve 'Merge Ical Calendars' feature for Facebook
Hi, just wondering if you could look at the way Facebook events display in Localendar when merged at http://www.localendar.com/cal?JSP=CalendariCal.

The problem is the Google map link in Localendar often doesn't work, even if the Facebook (Bing) one does for the same event. The Localendar google map seems to need the full address, whereas the Facebook location field is often just the venue name, with the address details available in a different field. Also, if the Facebook name location doesn't match that in Google maps, it can't find it (e.g. 'YMCA International Community Centre' in Facebook, 'International Community Centre' in Google Maps. Both the same venue in Nottingham, UK). You either get a 'Can't find that location' message, or even worse, a map of a central point in the town that is nowhere near the venue.

Maybe the full address data could be obtained from the Facebook event, or even the map co-ordinates, to pass to the Localendar Google map.

Many thanks.
