You're not imagining it. I still have the word "Coordinates" in the Where To History of the XT rather than the "Shared Locations" that you get now.

Geocaching App Geocaching sends its navigate instructions using the geo intent, in the following format... geo:lat,lng?q=lat,lng(Geocache) GarmIn Drive currently ignores the coordinates and will try and lookup a location called Geocache, which is a nonsense. If the Geocaching location is sent to Na...

Would be nice to know why Google maps does not work Hi Frank, it's good to know the app works as intended with what3words, thanks for testing! When a location is shared from Google Maps, it is sent as a url with a Google place ID. Garmin can decode this (they must pay for access to the Google geoco...

Hi all I've attached a zip file with an apk for an app that I have called NavHelper. This is a passthrough app, meaning that as soon as it receives valid coordinates, it will share those as a (temp) gpx file containing a single waypoint. If you run the app directly, you'll see a blank screen with on...

It will be if I can make it usable. I have in mind to make it a pass thru app, meaning that if selected as a target for a location, it will push directly to Drive without further intervention. The less faffing at the roadside the better in my view.

I'll report back once I've had a play with trying to do this more directly with a gpx file on the fly. I have proof of concept code now that can... Take latitude and longitude (and a label) from an application (like what3words or iOverlander), either via the geo uri (navigate) or plain text (share)...

just found the share on google maps...for garmin drive ... press share then nudge the bottom up to reveal garmin drive icon to send co ordinates Except it doesn't send coordinates... When you share from Google Maps to Drive, a URL with a Google place ID is sent. I don't think we can guarantee that ...

iOverlander sends the following intent for a campsite near me: geo:0,0?q=53.33704,-1.92364(Chinley Campsite) Note the campsite name label in parentheses. Now, if I go to the same location in what3words, and then navigate to it, the intent that is sent is: geo:0,0?q=53.337039,-1.923649 Putting aside...

... the Tread App will come back with 2 suggestions. The first will be the actual location represented by the pasted coordinates and the second will be the nearest street address. They will be shown as numbered red pins on the map. Thanks, this is useful to know. Since the latest update, Tread won'...

... about a year ago, it was possible to share a location from Google maps to Garmin Drive. All of a sudden it stopped working. When I tried it a week or 2 ago it worked again. Can you verify that with your app? The Share intent from Google Maps is different from the Navigate intent from what3words...
