5.2.0 Enable Default Image By default the url to the event image (if any) is added in the Attach element in the .ics file. You can specify using this option what the default image is that should be output for events without an image. This is useful for facebook synchronisation where an image on an event makes it more visible.
5.2.0 iCal URL In situations where you do not wish to display the iCal icon on the icon bar and cannot therefore easily identify the correct url to the module iCal feed, this shows the url. This url can be entered into the calendar synchronisation mechanisms of other calendars such as Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook and Facebook (e.g. iCalendar to Event).
