Great concept. I would love to see a video demonstration on the landing page. How easy is it to use? How much data entry does it take? How does it determine where my calendar events are geographically? What if I put "Building 51, Room 4115"? Can it learn where that is?

As I said, it's a great concept. I just need a little more before I take the plunge.

Good call. We'll start working on a video shortly.

We use some rudimentary location lookup APIs now, but hope to improve them going forward. We should have place lookups soon (e.g. starbucks, etc.) but places that don't show up on Google maps searches probably won't work.

Thanks for the feedback.
