Possibly more interesting would be for the calendar app to look ahead at 
your position-to-be and provide you with details (or even alerts) of 
what (for example) the weather is likely to be when you get to where you 
are going.  Knowing that it will probably be raining when you step off a 
'plane allows you to pack appropriately.
