Some help with Google Maps for finding meetings... |
Google Maps, while it is amazing technology, it has its
flaws. Mainly, its only as good as the information that Google was able to
collect to make it. Some addresses are not exactly accurate when they are
displayed on a map. It may be off by a significant amount. We try to
provide (and recommend that you get) good cross street information for any meeting
that you are trying to find. Also, zooming in to find the actual church parking
lot can help you figure out where to go. There is one problem with that, many
of the facilities that are used for meetings, show up as nothing but cleared dirt
in Google Maps, because the buildings have been built in the past 2-3 years, and
that is newer than most Google Map pictures |

Some help with Google Calendar for adding meetings
to your calendar... |
First of all, there are 2 main ways to get the calendar
data into your calendar.
- Import the ICS file, and use the data of that file
(data will be static)
- Subscribe to the calendar (proper software required)
and the data will be dynamic. In other words, as the meeting data is updated,
the data's changes will be shown as well without having to lift a finger.
Nice, huh?!?!
I don't think that it is possible to provide a "cheat sheet"
(yes, this is an honest program!) for all possible combinations of desktop software,
and its' versions on how to perform either of the 2 methods. I can give you
a quick rundown on what I know will work which way.
- MS Outlook - I think all versions will import
an ICS, it will be static
- Mozilla Thunderbird/Sunbird/Lightning - live subscription
- Mac iCal - live subscription
- Novell Evolution - live subscription
The best thing to do (I think) is to google search your
exact version of your desktop software that you are using, and use search terms
like " ical import subscribe to calendar". Good Luck, and
let us know how
it goes for your version of the software!
