New Google Maps "Send to"

iOS 7.1 could be the start of it... expect it (7.1) to release in January... and cars supporting it will be out in 2014 as well.

I guess this comes along the same lines. Android app for Send to car. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jvanier.an...

Yeahbut, how about the send to GPS. Not all of us can just run out and drop 20K or more on a new car just to send coordinates to. As a matter of fact, how many of us want to spend an extra $1000 or so just to get a nag unit in a car that is obsolete when you get it, and costs as much as a new Garmin unit to update?

I see no widespread usage of this feature if it's just to send to a car only.

It turns the car's radio unit into an extended display for the iOS device and the software it's running that people are much more likely to keep updated vs what they'd do for upkeep on a nav system in their car.

IOS 7 Car is all well and good, but it's still going to require you to run out and spend a pile of money for a new car. Personally, and this is my opinion, Google would be well served to make sure this feature still works for Stand Alone GPS.

My guess is that manufacturers like Kenwood, Pioneer, etc. will have aftermarket systems with capabilities to make use of the iOS in the Car technology... so one probably won't "have to" buy a new car...

Thanks for the info

This is the list New Google Maps is talking about when it said "send to car". As you can see it list "Garmin Device" and "GPS Device". So for us that don't have a GPS in our car it will still send to "Device"

Audi
BMW
Garmin Device
GPS device
Infiniti
Kia UVO
MINI
Mercedes-Benz
Nissan
Toyota

It is interesting that under Garmin device they don't show their own Chrome browser.
From the support link:
"One of the following browsers:
On a Windows PC
Internet Explorer version 6.0+
Firefox 1.5+
On a Mac
Firefox 2.0+
Safari 2.0+"

Wonder if there may a way to send to: A GPX file or similar ..perhaps a another type file?

And even more interesting that it really does NOT work in Chrome - as far as I can tell ...

Thanks

Will be nice for the phone. Can't wait to just hop on and send.

This could be very usefull

Can't figure it out!

You need to change back to Classic Maps to do this. There is no Send option in the new Google Maps yet.

Can you do this in Bing maps?

You can send it to email or a mobile phone only.

What will not work in chrome? I use the new Google maps in chrome. I'm sure when they offer the send in the new maps it will also work in Chrome,

He is saying Method to Register device is not working in Classic Maps on Chrome.

They could use the way Harley-Davidson Ride Planner does things. Right now I use New Google Maps to plan my trips to find locations, restaurants, etc. Then I go to H-D Ride program to cut and paste the locations from Google Maps to my H-D Ride trip. Then I am able to download all my destination points that could be around 15 to 30 points at once to my Garmin with one click. It also lets you save different trips so you can adjust them if you go back to the same place, but want have different points. The funny thing is - is the maps uses Google Maps as it's engine.

I registered my device in Chrome. You just have to use the Classic Google Map "send" and check the box like the directions tells you. It works in Chrome as this is what I have.

I can enter an address in a navigation device a lot faster than I can find the address in google maps, click through send to, login to a garmin account, connect the navigation device, send the information from computer to device, wait for the navigation unit to disconnect, unplug it, and put it back where it was.
