            Bug ID: 457110
           Summary: privacy: Google Maps opens when user click on address
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: contacts
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: robert at riemann.cc
  Target Milestone: ---

This is a feature request.

When I add to contacts an address and then browse later to that contact, I find
in the contact overview the address and can click on it. This opens the address
on Google Maps.

I think it is against the spirit of free software and KDE to redirect the user
without prior opt-in to Google Maps. Hence, I suggest that we make this
configurable as we do already for phone numbers and SMS. Maybe it is an option
to use the geo: URI handler instead and configure the behaviour on OS level?

Alternatively, we could offer:

1. open in Marble
2. open on OpenStreetMap
3. open using a self-configured URL
