Device independence. 'Send to iPhone' button on Google Maps
Every time I go somewhere new I tend to let Google tell me how to get there.
The trouble is that I have to do it twice. Once when I'm planning on my computer. And the second time when I'm actually walking there using my iPhone.
I want device independence now! :)

Inappropriate?The other non-email "Send to" features in Google Maps seem intended to get your location to another device you control. The "Send to Email" feature seems intended to share the location with other people.
Currently I use "Send to Email", and enter an address that's checked by my iPhone. Then I click that link to open it in Google Maps on the phone. However, it's a pain to have to retype the email address every time. It would be nice to have Google Maps remember preset email addresses to send to, possibly using the Address Book / Contacts from GMail.
A better solution would be to add "Phones" or "Cars" to the list that are just arbitrary preset emails rather than a device-specific protocol.
I’m frustrated
