“I used to have the infrequent problem of only being able to enter the first letter of the location of my events, but then the app froze and the only thing to unfreeze it was to force close the app and lose my draft of a calendar entry.

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Field service managers (contractors, delivery, sales) who embed location and routing directly into their daily calendar workflow. No search volume data, but the pain of form freezing on location entry suggests this segment is actively trying tools and hitting real UX walls.
Competition & the opening
Calendar apps (Google, Outlook) lack location routing; field service suites (Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan) are heavy and expensive. The gap is a lightweight calendar that treats location as a first-class entity and surfaces route optimization without heavyweight project management overhead.
What's hard to build
Feasibility unknown, but integrating real-time map APIs, geocoding, and route optimization (e.g., OSRM or Google Maps routing) while keeping calendar UX responsive is non-trivial. Syncing with existing calendars without breaking their workflow adds integration friction.
Why now
Field service/route planning apps prioritize features over stability; businesses abandon broken location-entry systems faster than they adopt new ones.
