Google Calendar share intent with address fails to locate

Bug Reports

Sharing the address “Second Street Public Market, 600 E. Second St., Dayton, 45402, United States” via the Google calendar app to ABRP results in a custom marker in the Atlantic Ocean off of Africa instead of the street address being parsed and located. Navigation generation fails with prompt for bug report instead of generating a route.

The address is from a calendar event created by a website and saved.

With the address provided above in the location field, click on the address to get an intent view to select which application to share the information to and select ABRP.

Screenshot of where I land when the address is passed.

Context of where the Marker lands. I think its the lat,long of 0,0.

Instead of trying to make a custom marker, i would prefer the text to be in the field so it can be edited if not able to be found since the calendar app allows for additional field content not parsing here in ABRP.

Where does this happen?
ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

    Hello @ABRP User #1200557,

    When you are trying to open via ABRP, are you getting the option to share through ABRP in Google Calender or do you have to share it with Google Maps and then share with ABRP? Please sharea a screenshot of what it looks like from Google Calender before you share it with ABRP.

      Workaround for you now while we look at this issue to input the address in ABRP:

      • Long-press and copy the address text from the Calendar event by pressing “Copy” when the bar shows up.

      • Open ABRP and paste the text directly into the search field.
