Text a location with google maps?

Hi:
I just bought a iphone yesterday and I am curious if this is possible:
Sending a message to someone (SMS) saying, lets meet at this location, and post a google maps link to that location so that person can click on it and go to that location online through google maps and look up directions on how to get there.
That other person has an iphone too.
Thanks.

There is no URL provided with the Google Maps application but you could do this with Google Maps using Safari but the iPhone does not support copy/cut/paste at the present time anyway.

  • How does GPS work with Google Maps?

    So far I always use GPS with Google Maps and do not understand other usage. I find it is very useful for some places where I do not know exactly where it is. I do not really know how it is working. I learnt that the built-in GPS receiver must be working in an opening field - seeing the sky. I find it works in shopping malls, offices, cars, etc. where they cannot see the sky. I got the answers from my friends that A-GPS, cellular network and internet are replaced with GPS to provide the location or search your target if the location cannot see sky. It sounds the GPS is not much useful as more than 50% of actual usage without seeing the sky. Can someone shed some light on to me how my iPhone 4 is working with Google Maps in real life.

    It starts by getting a quick rough estimation of your location using nearby cell towers or WiFi hotspots (if WiFi is on). Then it gradually pinpoints your location to a greater degree of accuracy as the various GPS satellites register your location.
    Obviously, no GPS system can work if the device cannot "see" the satellites well. That's governed by the laws of physics, which is why the iPhone also uses cell towers and WiFi hotspots to assist.

  • Locator in google maps

    Why doesn't the locator in google maps not work where I live?

    Because none of the WiFi hotspots in your area are registered with SkyHook, the company that deals with that. I believe you can do it yourself on their website, though.
    Hope this helps.

    Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

    Do you have an example? I develop Google maps for Web pages and haven't had problem with Safari and its extensions, only FF which I took out all the addons and plug-ins, but it wouldn't surprise if the Google map code doesn't display the map or information for the map or doesn't work with newer versions of Safari.

  • I hate Apple maps, will Marvericks give me option to sync contacts with google maps?

    Will Mavericks let me sync contacts with google maps or require sync to Apple Maps as does i0s7. I hate Apple maps.

    I have exactly the same issue.  I updraged my iphone4 to iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes to version 10.5.2.11.  I'm also running Windows7, but 32bit. 
    And I can also confirm this used to work both ways. 
    Good thing is that the iTunes backup and restore kept the new iPhone contacts on my device during the upgrade.  But they are still not syncing to google. 
    So the bad news is that its broken and has been for some time now. 
    anyone?

  • OBIEE 11g - Maps with Google Map as Source

    Hi Experts,
    Am trying to create some maps using information from Google Maps as source.
    In Map-viewer console, I have added Google Maps as the source in 'Manage Map Tile Layer' and was able to see the base map when I did a 'View Map/Manage Tiles'.
    However when I logged into analytics and tried to import layers, am not able to see anything.
    Is there anything that I am missing out. Thanks for any pointers.
    - Sujana

    Spatial data has to be setup in the database to get layers. I tried using some of the layers from the spatial data I had and then could get a map with google map as the background map.
    But couldn't find any easy alternate to fetch layer information.

  • How to Replace New Maps app on ios 6 with Google Maps?

    Can someone please  provide the procedure to replace the new maps app on ios 6 with Google Maps?
    Thank you

    You can still use Google’s maps — on the Web. Visit maps.google.com and accept the offer to create a Home-screen icon for you. You won’t get spoken directions, but you’ll get written directions, public transportation details, live traffic reports and, of course, Google’s far superior maps and data. (In two weeks, you’ll be able to get Street View this way, too, says Google.) And you can install the Google Plus Local app for full access to Google’s more complete database of shops and businesses.
    You can also use someone else’s app. Many good ones cost money, but the MapQuest and Waze apps are free and offer spoken directions; Waze also incorporates real-time information about traffic jams, accidents and speed traps, collected by thousands of iPhones and Android phones on the roads.
    If you can wait a couple of months, you’ll be able to install Google’s own maps app; Google is busily readying one for the iPhone and iPad.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Problem With Google Map Widget

    I'm trying to add a google map widget to a web page and having some problems setting my exact location. I live in a rural area so I can't just type in my address. I figured I would be able to put in the Latitude & Longitude insead, but that does not work.
    Is there a way to set the Latitude & Longitude? Or, is there a way to move the marker so I can get it exactly where I want it? I tried several key commands and was not able to do that either.
    Thanks for any info!

    Go to Google Maps itself, find your location and use the provided links to display that page in a HTML Snippet with the <iframe> HTML element :
    <iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    Adjust the width and height to fit the page.
    Here's how I do it :

  • My Location for Google Maps Not working on Palm Treo 500

    I have a Palm Treo 500 running WM 6.1.  I have google maps installed on my device but I get the error "Your current location is temporarily unavailable" when I try to use the My Location function.
    I have read on the google site that some devices don't have 'cell ID' enabled in the devices API.  Does anyone out there know if it can be enabled (and how if it is possible).
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Post relates to: Treo 500v (Vodafone)

    Thanks for the advice.  My Location is enabled within GoogleMaps. 
    My device is one of the unlocked ones on o2.   I have been in touch with o2 and they say 'go to Palm'.  I can't seem to find anywhere to get any advice from Palm (other than this forum).
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks
