Open event location on mapping site/app (google, apple, open street maps)
Currently, the location icon and address data in a Proton Calendar appt. does nothing. It would be nice if clicking on it would open a map program such as Google Maps to get directions to appt.

This is one of the top features that make a calendar app useful. As far as the map application, I think that can be handled by having an preference in the app settings.

My choice would be OSMAND, but I like the idea.

I would use Proton Calendar exclusively if only its event location datablock actually worked and functioned like Apple’s. In Apple when creating an event the location for the event will autofill and connect to Apple maps as well. Without that function, Proton Calendar IMHO is pretty much useless.

I really liked this feature in Google Calendar and would love to have it included in Proton Calendar.

Ideally it should be agnostic regarding the map app. I use Mapy.cz most of the time for example.

This would be great if Proton releases a Proton Maps application alongside this feature.

I like the idea, but Google anything is a no-no.

Yes, I really like how Zoho Calendar has a map preview with the location under the address. Also clicking on the map preview opens your maps app, would love something similar in Proton Calendar.

Maybe this could take advantage from OpenStreetMaps?

I don't think that opening such links with google services will be private, I would suggest some tracking-free map services.

Feedback I got this week from the great ProtonTeam: "Kindly note that our team is still looking into this and working out how to improve the behavior. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate exactly when this will be released.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and want to thank you for your patience."Keep waiting then.

This is a critical feature that prohibits me using the calender feature. I regularly add all the locations to quickly start my navigation and not having to find the address of the appointment.
The feature should suggest locations and open a map when selecting it.

Critical Feature.
I see some folks asking for this to be backed by OpenStreetMaps. Would be fine for the input side - autocomplete suggestions.
When on the output/reading side, should give the user the choice to open in OpenStreetMaps, Apple, and Google to tie into existing navigation on mobile/CarPlay/Android Auto mobile devies.

It should give suggestions while adding a location.
It should open a map when opening the location.I think it is best to open the default Maps-app on mobile.
On web you should be able to choose where it will open. -

I vote for Open Street Maps! I try not to use other mapping software.

pretty much every day I tap on the next appointment in my calendar on my phone and open the destination in Waze ... not being able to do that in Proton is super frustrating

Proton Calendar definitely has to have maps integration on its calendar, this is critical.

Apple Maps would be ok.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/ is a great option for that.
