Hello, 

One of our meeting locations is "Town Hall" with the address "161 Main Rd, Montgomery, MA 01085-9525".
In the ICS feed it appears as 
LOCATION:Town Hall 161 Main Rd\, Montgomery\, MA 01085-9525
If this exact location is fed to Google Maps the map does not go to the location but rather a high altitude view of the area.
If a comma is placed after the location name and before the street address then Google Maps responds as expected. 
Some WordPress calendar plugins (e.g. amr ical events list) have an button to map the location but this problem shows up when used. 

Would it be possible to change the ICS LOCATION to add a comma after the location name? 
LOCATION:Town Hall 161 Main Rd\, Montgomery\, MA 01085-9525
LOCATION:Town Hall\, 161 Main Rd\, Montgomery\, MA 01085-9525 
 Hopefully this would not cause trouble for others.

Thank you,
Pete

Done.

You’ll want to take the “,” out of your location name now :)
