I can't figure out how to do the simplest thing with Google Maps: send a location to my phone (running Android) in such a way that I'm guaranteed that it will appear as the top choice when I click the Google Maps icon in Applications.
I can "send to phone" (SMS) a link, email a link, or send to a car I don't own or a GPS unit I haven't purchased however.
So I have meeting tomorrow, I want to be sure that when I click the Google Maps icon the address I want to navigate to will be the first thing listed.
- eric_the_read 13y agoThe chrome to phone extension does exactly this. If you search for an address in Chrome, and click the extension's button, it'll fire up Maps with the address selected in your phone. It can be finicky about making you log in all the time, but it's nice for this exact case.
- chaz 13y agoIf I get directions to a destination on Maps desktop (web), then I can use Android Google Maps, press the search button, and that same destination is the first option. This only works for directions, not just looking up a location. I do agree getting little things between devices still feels hard. Chrome to Phone works for URLs and works one way, but I feel like things should be seamless, instant, and universal. Still missing in every ecosystem.
