google maps integration on iPhone 4S?

I love the google maps integration that allows us to send a google maps location to our nav system. I've been trying to either use the maps application that comes with the iPhone, or either access maps.google.com on safari, but I can't see any option to "send" to "audi". Anyone else find a solution?

Thanks!

Going to maps.google.com and if I search for "White House" I get a map showing the White House location (in D.C.). In the upper right of the screen you should see a envelope icon and if you click on it you get options on where to send the address. Select "car" and then make sure you pick "Audi" and your My Audi account ID. Then click send.

Hope that helps

When I go to maps.google.com on my iPhone I don't see the envelope icon on the iPhone. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Google.com sees that your're using a mobile device and only gives you the option of their mobile version of the map website on IOS Safari. At someone's advice, I downloaded the "Atomic Web" app which supposedly can be set to mimic a non-mobile device to a website. Haven't yet been able to get it work yet though for getting to the "Send To Car" menu feature. I need to play with it some more.

Atomic web Works ..

So I downloaded "Atomic Web" paid version and set the following settings.
I set the "Identify Browser" to Safari Desktop.
"Search engines" to "Google".
"Start Up " options as Homepage.
set my homepage to www.googlemaps.com.

In the Atomic app I go to the home page,set as googlemaps, and do a "paste" of the address in the search bar of the app. somehow the searchbar in googlemaps page will not take a paste. after google show the location in the google desktop search engine, usually the top selection. click on the map and it opens it in Google Desktop Version

Then zoom in and use the usual steps like the desktop.

Kind of clucky, but gets the job done. Until Audi or google maps releases an app. who knows.

Maybe turn iPhone to portrait to get to the "more" pull down. just did it again it works. Unfortunately a bit clunky. but if you get passed that. Copy and paste will work out
