How do the Event Map and Event Location merge fields work?

Solution:

When you create a new event, the default Confirmation Email that is created includes these two merge fields.

The /*EventMap*/ merge field inserts a link to a Google Map to the event location. The map uses the event address fields you’ve specified (in the General tab, Event Location fields in the event setup), and generates a Google map directly to this location.

The /*EventLocation*/ merge code displays the entire event address on one line of text.

Additional Information:

Note that the link generated by the /*EventMap*/ merge field works for addresses in the US and Canada only. You can also use this merge field for UK addresses by entering "UK" in the Country field for your event location.

For events in other countries, you'll need to generate a map to your location and insert a link to the map on your event's Confirmation page.
