+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #583569 +++

I think we are now near being able to implement part of bug 583569 thanks to bug 531285. That one aims to make the showing of an address on a map universally available in Thunderbird in a ready to use widget.

With the help of it, we could use the value of the Location field in the calendar event dialog and send it to a map provider (like google maps or OpenStreetMap). Of course it depends on the quality of the data the user provides in the location string whether something useful is findable on the map. Choosing of a map provider is also available in the widget.

So this bug is mostly about adding that button somewhere in the event view dialog and passing in the string from location field.
