Hi, I'm new to windows phone and loving my new Nokia 920. Does anyone know of a way to send an address found in Nokia maps or any other application to the nav system of your car? Coming from android there was an app called send2car that worked with google maps. You find where you're looking to go in google maps and then hit share and choose your car (in my case a BMW) and the car would then receive a message with the address and I would just click navigate. Very simple way of entering destinations in your nav system. Is there a way to do this on windows phone? Thanks everyone!

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...

Hey Guys, I haven't figured this one out:
How do you open addresses (from contacts or in emails) in Nokia Drive?
I want to be able to click on an address and get directions from current location.
Currently, when I click on an address, it opens in Nokia maps and I can get directions but I'd like GPS directions in Nokia Drive.
Is there a way to do it?
I'm not sure it can be directly opened in drive, but when it opens in the standard maps app, and you tap directions, it will automatically start up Nokia drive...very convenient

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, got it! Actually, when I click directions in the map app, there is a small arrow at the bottom which says "Drive". When I click that, it opens the Nokia Drive app.
Thanks!
Hello,
I just got the new Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS which has the App Radio functions built in. I have bought ArLiberator and now have full control over my android device. Awesome. One great feature of the AVH-X8500BHS is if you hold down the "home" button on the radio it launches voice control. What this does is open a screen on the radio and then activate the default voice control app on the smartphone.
However, Android is only listing three options to take voice commands: One is Google Search which doesnt even show up in my app list. Instead I want to be able to open Voice Search which opens a Google Now app that actively waits for input.
Is there anyway to tell google to classify Google Voice Search as one of the apps that can be opened?
Anyone have any idea?
I'm looking for Navigation software that lets me choose my route and save it or send it to my phone for Sunday rides.
Google Maps will let you choose a route on your computer and send it to your phone, but the moment you open it on the phone, Google Maps goes back to its default route and ignores the special streets you wanted to use.
Any ideas? I want to create awesome Sunday ride routes that touch on all the streets I like to ride.
Hi
We run Maas360 to control approximately 200 android mobiles. One thing lacking in this MDM is to be able to populate the contacts with important numbers. We need to be able to put an Icon on the home screen of all the mobiles so that when they tap the icon it will dial a special landline number that we have for emergencies. I have looked through a lot of the dialer apps but the all seem to use the phones contacts which we don't have any control over. Can anyone think of a way we can achieve this? Currently google chrome is greyed out on the phones due to limiting them to no internet and no playstore access.
Ideas anyone?
