Google Send Directions
Google Send Directions

All together, now: HOW'S IT WORK?
It's pretty simple. Go to the Google Omnibox (that's the right and proper name for the box where you type addresses), or on the Google.com page go to the search box and type the following:
Send Directions
The top result will be a neat widget that has a dropdown allowing you to select your Android phone. The next line is the starting point of your search, which defaults to your phone's location, and the third line is the address you want to get to. This is where the magic starts. Enter an address in to the box with the label "Where do you want to go?"
Once the location is found click "Send directions to my phone"
What happens next?
Your browser shows you a message saying your directions have been sent and you should check your phone. Your phone will alert you that it has a message, and it will launch the maps app. From here you can select Start Navigation, and you're on your way.
Pretty cool, huh?
