Google Maps Link in Google Calendar
Google appears to have implemented Google Maps links in Google Calendar events. If you have an address location (with meaningful adress info) included for an event, it will automatically include a Google Maps link after you save the event. The map link also appears when you are sent E-mail notifications of the event. This is the kind of cross-app-integration Google needs to start doing with all of its products. I'm really glad to see this feature!
If you copy the "Map" link, you can tack "&output=kml" to the end of the URL and the new link will then automcatically fly you to the same location in Google Earth. Google should make it two links, one for "Map" and one for "KML". Now, let's see Maps and KML links in other things like Google Analytics, Google Trends, Google Adsense, etc.
