Events on the map #3
Description
It would be cool to have events show up on the map when they have a location set and are in the near future (the next 4 weeks).
@MorrisJobke mentioned that GMaps does this. Would be a great way to inter-connect Nextcloud apps like this! cc @v1r0x @brantje and @georgehrke for Calendar

This would be a really cool feature, but I don't know how much it would be used.
georgehrke commentedon Jun 7, 2017
I think we should implement a Calendar API in the server, just like the contacts API.
Implementing a CalDAV client with all the parsing XML logic would be an overkill for a maps app.

@georgehrke sounds good!
@andreasjacobsen93 it's not a matter of being used intentionally, it's about connecting the apps and achieving convergence. This is one of the big points why people use Google and Apple apps.

We also implemented the calendar API as i suggested above.
Can be found at https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/public/Calendar/ICalendar.php

The Friendica federated systems have events calendars. I can see how sharing an event from there to a Nextcloud circle or contacts list/group could be useful in marketing a concert, live event, company picnic, flashmob, etc.

This is mostly about seeing your own events on a map. See https://www.blog.google/products/maps/now-you-can-see-your-google-calendar-events-google-maps/

Right, @jancborchardt but if my Nextcloud was pulling in a calendar from somewhere else by the "Subscription" feature, they would be my event's right?
georgehrke commentedon Sep 8, 2019
The calendar API does not expose subscriptions at the moment, so no.
Feel free to open a feature request for that in the server repo.

Would be an interesting twist if it could be extended to a general Meetup-alternative:

Are there any updates on the possibilities of this feature?

Hello everyone,
We use nextcloud to manage a travel agency, so it would be great to be able to put travelers' dates on the calendar, and when adding the location, it would be shown on the map.
It would serve to quickly locate where all travelers are, for emergencies as has happened in Morocco.
Is there news on this?

Hi,
On our NC, we have many theater / music band and one music production.
We hope that this feature can born one day for the tours plannings !
Thanks a lot for all the work !

Hi,
we would be very interested in a connection of calender and maps app, too! For us it is also about tour planinngs. Showing event locations for upcoming events of differnt calenders in the maps app would be veeeerrrry helpful. If it were possible to additionally set a time frame as a filter we would be even more happy.
Is there any idea if and when this connection may be reallized?
