Google Send To Car feature restored to new online Maps?
Just received this email from Google. I haven't tried it yet but presumably it restores the Send To Car feature into the new online Google Maps.

Thanks for helping us bring back Send to Car.
Based on the feedback you submitted, we've been hard at work making the Maps experience even better.
Send a location to your car
Now you can send a location in Google Maps to your car’s navigation system using the Send to Car feature. This feature’s only available for certain participating car manufacturers.
Make sure your car is saved at www.google.com/maps/sendtocar.
Open Google Maps on your computer and search for a location.
Click Send to car in the info card that appears below the search box.

Thank goodness, love this feature actually. I like to plan trips sometimes or find restaurants on yelp then send them to the audi with google maps. Saves much time punching it in while in the car.

If you have an iphone download the audi app "MMI Connect" and you can use that to search google maps and send destinations to your car, or it will send destinations that are in your contacts or calendar to the car. Nifty little app imho.

Yep, it's been there for a few weeks now. I finally switched over to the new Google Maps. This was the one missing feature that kept me using Google Maps Classic.

Just installed this app. I've been looking for a way to add destinations to my car from my iPhone and this is it. Thanks!

I just tried using the "Maps" app on my Google Nexus and my Galaxy S3. Can't seem to figure out how to send to my car. Sad to think that a Google device wouldn't work while the Apple device would. Hopefully I am just missing something.
No MMI Connect in Google Play store either. I did find an App called "Send To Car" that brings the functionality to Android. Will try this later today to see if it is in my car.
