I've been looking for 2 specific tweaks with no luck:

First, when adding a new calendar event it would be great if the location field would connect with maps. Like when you start typing a point of interest it would search maps and find the nearest location. Then when the calendar alert pops up you can tap the location link and it would be brought up in the maps app for directions. I believe you can search in the map first and copy and paste a link into the calendar but combining the 2 steps would be awesome.

Second is a music app tweak. On my old iPod classic I could do this but it changed with iPod touch and iPhones. When I used to listen to music by "artist" it would show any albums that I have by that artist. I could then select all songs and it would start at the beginning of the first album and after playing through the first album it would continue to the second album playing all songs in album order. Now on an iPhone if you select all songs it lists all songs alphabetically regardless of which album they belong to. I'd love to be able to go back to the old style.

Does anyone know if either of these 2 things already exist? Thanks for the help!

No on the first one, and not to my knowledge on the second.

Sorry :/

May not be what you want and it's $8 in the app store, but I use Organizer by Aeosthology.

Ordinarily, it's not something I'd be interested in, but you can add maps and images in to Organizer. It also syncs with Calendar and Notes/Reminders, so any notes/reminders you make in Organizer reflect to the appropriate app and any appointments you make reflect to Calendar (although it does not add maps/images and such. Similarily changes you make in the other apps reflect to Organizer.

This does look like a nice app, kind of $$. Have you had any issues with it keeping the iPhone calendar or reminders list updated?

None whatsoever. It's a great app and worth the price. I particularly like the fact that it emulates the old time desktop dayplanners.
