This is possibly more of a user question but it is possibly of interest to calendar developers as well due to the context used. There is also no way to flag this issue within the Google Calendar Help group.
I've noticed that even though my Calendar account has lots of useful contextual information such as my Country, City and Timezone, that none of this is used to make locating Calendar events on the map. So in my case that's Sydney Australia (with associated timezone). It's extremely rare for Google Calendar to show a map that places one of my Sydney-based events in Australia. Usually a similarly named location in the United States is shown. More recently, I had an event in Newcastle, which is a city a few hundred kilometres from Sydney, and notably within the same country, state and timezone. Google calendar routes this to a map so that I see "Newcastle upon Tyne", which is not even a proper match on name, but is in another country, hemisphere, continent, timezone - tens of thousands of km from my calendar defaults. To get it to show the correct location I have to manually type in qualifying information (state and country) for every single event. Why must this be done when the user account defaults are available? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
