Description
Done when:
For events, a field "Custom Directions URL" is added with help text "If your event location is very specific to a building or location that does not exactly correspond to the address, you may supply the URL of a custom Google map page." Optional. Validation on the field to ensure that the URL is properly formatted and domain is maps.google.com. The directions link will then use this URL instead of the default directions URL.
This is to support events that take place within a large facility that doesn't have a unique address. For example a certain part of a college campus, state park or corporate complex.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the event location fields and the code that generates the default directions link, then trace how event fields are validated and displayed. Done means the optional field, help text, maps.google.com validation, and custom-link behavior all work as specified.
