Preliminary experiments are positive! In fact, it was enough just to use
a string like "geo:XXXX,YYYY" as the LOCATION property. That survived
the ical export, and the caldav transfer, and when I "clicked" the
resulting location line in the Android calendar app, it offered to open
the link with OSMand, and showed me the correct coordinates.
The nature of OSMand's response made me suspect that it might also
accept arbitrary strings to search on (ie POI names or something), but
further messing about will have to wait until tomorrow.
Next up is finding out how to mark up the links so we can have a
human-readable link text, with the link address hidden. Perhaps it will
honor HTML, I don't know.
