Anyone tried sending Google Maps to their car yet? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I see that it is now working. Anyone tried it yet? What are your impressions?

The geek in me is just curious. I doubt I'd spend the money for the upgrade to OnStar since Google Navigation works fine on my Droid.

Nothing wrong with Mapquest, I've just been using Google for a long time so I hooked on it.

Used it today on a routine trip to the mall just to try it and it was spot on!

spoone123 · 07-03-2010, 07:32 PM

how do you do that?

gahammerle · 07-03-2010, 07:37 PM

Go to Google Maps, get your directions, then click the Send To button, select Car, and follow the prompts from there.

spoone123 · 07-03-2010, 07:40 PM

awsome i didn't know we have that, now i need to find my username LOL

Michael_Js · 07-04-2010, 12:30 AM

Yes, what does OnStar use for your username? I've tried my name as shown on the OnStar web page as well as my OnStar account number. both return errors...

What I don't like about MapQuest send to OnStar is that even after I update the route the way I want it, it still sends the default route they choose. I don't care for that...

EDIT: Well, according to OnStar, my username is my account mumber, with the 1st three "0"'s and without the dashes. Google still doesn't like that :(

I can send it from google to the car and then just the onstar button and tell them what I named it and they will push it to the car.

Rogue Leader · 07-04-2010, 09:09 AM

Sweet, I find Google has an easier time finding places than MapQuest

TonyNo · 07-04-2010, 12:00 PM

Ah! You can't start with directions. You select a location, then, in the pop-up, hit More, then you can select Car. Note that this seems to use the Virtual Adviser, so you need hands-free calling minutes.

does this work on the blackberry bold??

Virtual Adviser does not charge you minutes when using for E-Nav
