It all works fine, though I wish I were able to get org-caldav working for two-way syncing. I recently put a LOCATION property on one of my events, and was very pleased to see that, in the google calendar app, the location was made clickable and I was given the option of opening the location in OSMand. I've wanted this for a long time! The only problem now is that I have no idea how to format the LOCATION property value so that it's recognized as a valid link. I assume I'd have to get the GPS coordinates and put them in there... but how? I guess this is what they call an "intent" in Android land, but I found it surprisingly difficult to google an answer. I know this is verging on OT, but if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! It would be nice to make a few custom functions for inputting this kind of information. Thanks, Eric
