Abstract

A map is associated with a calendar entry. An electronic calendar includes at least one calendar entry. The calendar entry includes at least one calendar entry location for indicating a geographic location of where the calendar entry is scheduled to occur. At least one option associated with the calendar entry is provided. In response to receiving a user selection of the option, a map associated with the calendar entry location is provided.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

providing an electronic calendar, the electronic calendar including at least one calendar entry, the at least one calendar entry including at least one calendar entry location for indicating a geographic location of where the at least one calendar entry is scheduled to occur;

providing at least one option associated with the at least one calendar entry; and

in response to receiving a user selection of the at least one option, providing a map associated with the at least one calendar entry location.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising accessing a third party website to provide the map.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a user indication to create the at least one calendar entry.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising, in response to receiving the user indication to create the at least one calendar entry, determining the map associated with the at least one calendar entry location.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising storing the at least one calendar entry location.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic calendar is provided via a group community portal.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic calendar is a group calendar associated with a group community portal.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic calendar is provided via a group community portal.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic calendar is a group calendar associated with a group community portal.

8. A system, comprising:

a memory component that stores at least the following;

logic configured to provide an electronic calendar, the electronic calendar including at least one calendar entry, the at least one calendar entry including at least one calendar entry location for indicating a geographic location of where the at least one calendar entry is scheduled to occur;

logic configured to provide at least one option associated with the at least one calendar entry; and

logic configured to, in response to receiving a user selection of the at least one option, provide a map associated with the at least one calendar entry location.

9. The system of claim 8, the memory component further storing logic configured to access a third party website to provide the map.

10. The system of claim 8, the memory component further storing logic configured to receive a user indication to create the at least one calendar entry.

11. The system of claim 10, the memory component further storing logic configured to, in response to receiving the user indication to create the at least one calendar entry, determine the map associated with the at least one calendar entry location.

12. The system of claim 11, the memory component further storing logic configured to store the at least one calendar entry location.

15. A computer-readable medium that stores a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform at least the following:

provide an electronic calendar, the electronic calendar including at least one calendar entry, the at least one calendar entry including at least one calendar entry location for indicating a geographic location of where the at least one calendar entry is scheduled to occur;

provide at least one option associated with the at least one calendar entry; and

in response to receiving a user selection of the at least one option, provide a map associated with the at least one calendar entry location.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, the program further causing the computer to access a third party website to provide the map.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, the program further causing the computer to receive a user indication to create the at least one calendar entry.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 17, the program further causing the computer to, in response to receiving the user indication to create the at least one calendar entry, determine the map associated with the at least one calendar entry location.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, the program further causing the computer to store the at least one calendar entry location.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the electronic calendar is provided via a group community portal.
