I can't find a good tutorial on this. I was trying to use the s pen to outline and circle a destination on Google maps and send that through a text message. However, Im doing something wrong and can't figure how to get the s pen to work with Google maps.
I believe you have to screenshot the map you are wanting to write on, then add your scribe to that image. You can then email or MMS the pic. That's how Ive been doing it anyway
Its in s memo as well.

I previously had a Milestone and in the calendar app there any address I entered into the location field would be clickable and offer an option to open maps or navigate to it. In the samsung app I can add a location but it is not clickable. I have seen that you can open the map from the edit screen but this seems only to let you get a single map image rather than giving full functionality. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?
Edit: I tried installing Jorte calendar and that has clickable address links working. When viewing the same event in both only Jorte allows me to click through.
Looking into this it seems the feature is simply missing from the samsung app rather than not activated and has been since the original galaxy. Is this something that can easily be modded?
I am needing this feature as well. When I had my captivate, stock did not have this but with the cognition rom it seemed to work. I don't know how it was modded to work. However, when I updated my captivate to the 2.2 stock firmware I897UCKB1, it had this feature. Now that I have a SGS2 its very disappointing that it doesn't have this again. I use the Clickable address location in calendar every day to get to appointments. It is so frustrating to have to open the appointment, edit the appointment, copy the address from location, hit home, open maps, hit search, paste the address, and hit search again while driving. This could all be done with one click if the location was clickable. I am willing to donate $15 to anyone able to give a solution using the SGS2 stock calendar app. Thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The best i could think of is to do a search of the location before hand copy then copy the link to the description part on the calender entry. Also add the location snapshot (this is just a picture as you might have aready noticed). Now when the appointment pops up, just click the link(set it up to open with maps). This way you can getting the navigation running from the appointment itself.
add another one to the list of people who really need this feature.
i have just come from a year with a htc desire and its something i really miss.
This is a silly oversight. Something that other apps on the market implement without issue. I'm disappointed!
Is there any way to send your current gps location or directions to your gps locaton to someone?
I used to be able to this on my Galaxy Note but I can't seem to find a way on the Lumia.
If you drop a pin on, say, Caring Cross Road, in Maps and click it and choose send via text or email, the email just says something like "checkout Charing Cross Road" and not contain map reference to your exact location!
Is there any way to do these things?
I'm using Whatsapp to send my location. Also there are some Apps that use Google Latitude gMaps is one of them. Also with gMaps you can share the exact coordinates if you prefer this way of sharing.
There is an app echoecho available in the marketplace. I've never used it, but it seems to be made exactly for this job...
Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
I've got a Nexus 7, which means no data connection. Which means that I can get directions when I'm at home, but unless I do it immediately before leaving the house and make sure that it stays in the Maps app, navigation is useless.
Is there no way to send direction via e-mail from inside the Google Maps app? Right now I have to go to my desktop and get directions there in order to send them.
That can't make sense. I must be missing something. Right?
hey there,
on 4.0.1 (cm9) i used to use the google search app to search for contacts on my phone. and there, since i turned off every search on the device, exept for contacts, my most frequent contacts showed without me having to enter anything.
now in 4.2 (cm10.1) that doesnt seem to work anymore. i turned off google now (needs web search history and stuff, which i dont like). but no search suggestions (contacts) show before i start typing. and even if i start typing a friends name, first three websearch suggestions are listed, which pushes the following contact suggestions behind the keyboard. this really sabotages my used "workflow".
do you know any possibilities how to get rid of websearch suggestions and have contact suggestions before starting to type? or how to get the old google search app back?
thx for any hint!
and i know, there are other ways to find contacts. but i learned to love this way, because it was quick through my phones permanent search btn. and, if i wanted, i could still seach the web by completing the searchterm and hitting enter...
thx again and hf
kws...

I am looking for an alternative to Googles voice typing keyboard. It’s very handy to be able to dictate notes, text messages, and emails but I’m not a fan of sending my audio to google. I’m also looking to cut out many of the fancy features like internet searches, gifs, and excessive notifications.
The way this hunt started, I was tired of the Google app; it was trying to be a little too helpful. So I disabled the Google app in the android settings. Then I realized that disabling it broke my text to speech keyboard.
I would like suggestions for simple voice to text keyboard that would not rely on the Google app. I prefer open source but that would not be strictly necessary if there is a good commercial alternative.
Anyone have suggestions?
