In the location section of an event booking I want to detail address and other URLs detailing parking and travel options. The problem is the site takes these URLs together with address information and concaternates this and puts it into a google maps search which means the search fails. Not good. Please can someone explain how to stop this or remove the google maps capabiltiy.

    The plan is to have a separate locations setup section which can then be linked to an event. The location text will then be for a freeform description as you're currently using it.

    In the meantime, I will remove the link. It doesn't link correctly for most people anyway, but you were the first to complain. The change will go out in the planned update tonight.

    Also, the formatting of the text will be switched to use Markdown so you can include your own link to google maps if you like too.

    To include a link in the text use this format:
    http://maps.google.com/maps?q=theaddress

    ps The CSS styling is in the pipeline.
