When I do a search for a specific store or location in the browser, it will bring up a list of places nearby. When I select Directions it opens up Google Maps in the browser. Is there any way to have it open up in Navigation instead because the Google Maps in the browser can never find my location with the GPS.
Thanks.

Well, seems like it wasn't working in Dolphin but works in the standard browser.

Is there a way to get locations in browser to use the maps app instead of the maps webpage in the browser on ICS? I've already tried apps association in settings but that didn't work.
OK, with my other phones, SGII for instance, I can email myself directions from Google maps and when I click on the destination link contained in the email it takes me to my Google maps app on the phone, with the SGIII it takes me to Google Maps within my browser. looked for a workaround without success...
Mods, if this is a bug please move post...
I have a problem. I want to open web page, which containts google map with pin points. (Address is http://www.4x4klubs.lv/2011/08/lpg/ )
I open it up, I see the google map, I can move in it, but I dont see any pin point.
In chrome its just blank map.
In built in browser if I click "show large map" under the maps, it opens up in google maps app. There, if I select "read" I can see all the addresses of pin points, but I still cant see them on map.

Hello,
I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]
I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

Was searching in Google for same issue and came across this post.
Okay, I figure out how to reproduce the bug, at least in my case. If I star it on the desktop browser, it won't push any new name to the ios app. But if I star it on the ios app, then go to rename it in the browser, and then go back to the ios app, the new name appears. Huh?

I tried with one of my bookmarks and this technique worked!

I wrote that. Good to see myself quoted on xda!
Definitely this works on latest Maps app on Latest iOS. However, definitely this technique does *not* work (at least in my case, Samsung GS4 Google Ed.) using the latest Maps app (7.0.1) on Android 4.2.2. In fact, with this setup, the places list does not show *any* of the names I have assigned using the Bookmarks webpage, no matter what I try. Erg.
I use Google assistant on my Android on a daily basis, with the tap of a button - to get directions, make a phone call, send a text, open an app, etc. However, my 10-yr-old son has figured out that he can bypass my password-protected browser apps (such as Chrome) by doing web/video searches directly on Google assistant. For reasons that I won't get into here, it is imperative that I prevent his unauthorized access to the internet. However, I don't wish to bury Google assistant under a password or a lock screen, on account of how often I use it for all sorts of other stuff. IS THERE A WAY TO DISABLE WEB SEARCHES FROM THE GOOGLE APP, OR TO FORCE THE APP TO DEFER TO THE CHROME APP FOR THOSE SEARCHES?
I do have a rooted device, if that helps.
I am having the same issue with the Cortana assistant app on my Android as well. If I could get either Cortana or Google Assistant to block web searches, I'd be happy.
