I'm not sure how it does it or why but the latest GCalendar module includes Google maps for the location fields.

Any recommendations for what to use as a module - component - menu item which would provide directions to our school? I'd also like to have some kind of map which had all of the other schools in our sports conference so that parents could easily get directions when we have away games.
