iCal: where’s the map field?

Originally uploaded by thatjonesboy

I really don’t like Apple’s iCal. If it weren’t so tightly integrated to OS X and the iPhone I would prefer not to use it. It has so many weird interface things going it’s actually quite hard to use. It’s well below par when measured against most Apple apps.

It’s not only the unconventional interface that lets it down. It also lacks a few features that I’d consider a no-brainer.

For instance, as of this month even iPhoto supports mapping through Google Maps, so why, in this day and age, can’t iCal lookup an address when I enter it in the location field and provide a map?
