Google Maps Can Now Send Directions From Your Desktop To Android

To do this in the past, you only need to type “send directions” in to the Google search textbook, which is fairly simple to do but probably most people don’t know about it, according to an Ubergizmo report.

Once you have sent the directions, you should get a notification on your device that will display the address of the location you were searching for, along with the option of beginning to navigate to that location immediately. Now that feature is enabled for Android devices too, and it works from Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer desktop browsers.

Google now has made it so a user of Google Maps on the desktop can send directions to his or her mobile device. The notification also contains buttons to begin navigation right away or view the directions to the place that you’re looking at.

From the notification, you will get a couple of decisions of what to do next.

Take note, however, that you won’t be able to use this new feature if you’re on Lite Mode – even if you’ve got the new Google Maps on your phone or tablet, ‘you won’t be seeing any “Send to Device” button. Tapping the location will open up Google Maps and showcase the area, hours, and a greater amount of the location that you’re keen to look on. You can grab it from Google Play or APK Mirror.
