One of the services that integrates with Google Calendar is Google Maps, which can be found on the right side of the Google Calendar Web interface. So far so good if it weren't because every time we select an address from Google Calendar, the Google Maps app opens automatically..

Fortunately for all those users who wonder whether or not they can disable this feature, the answer is: Yes.

By default, when you click on the address of an event in your Google calendar, a small preview will automatically open in the right sidebar of the interface. If what you want is to open these locations on the official Google Maps website, you will have to use the Open in Maps option..

This extra step will be the one that we can eliminate if we deactivate the Google Maps app within Google Calendar.
