The PC or Mac is often our most important working tool, which is why we often consult addresses, locations or even routes through our computer to go there later, using our iPhone as a browser, for this reason , We want to show you how you can quickly send any route, location or information from Google Maps on PC or Mac to your iPhone.
This way you won’t waste time searching, configuring or sharing unnecessary links, take advantage of this feature that Google offers you, allowing you to share any location in real time without the need for complex settings.
First steps to configure
The first thing we must know is that Google Maps must necessarily be installed on our iPhone, and we must log into the application with the same Google account with which we navigate on the PC or Mac. We remind you that Google Maps is available completely free of charge in the iOS App Store, so you won’t have any problem getting it.
Once we have already downloaded the app and logged in following the instructions we have left, it is time to make sure that all the parameters are set correctly so that the mentioned functionalities are performed correctly. For this, we will go Settings > Notifications, and we are going to make sure that we have activated all the notification options of Google Maps on our iPhone, because only then can we later access the aforementioned content.
How to share positions
Now it’s very simple, if you make sure you are signed in with the same Google account on your iPhone and on your Mac or PC, When interacting with the Google Maps website, you will be able to take advantage of a new option called “send to phone” Whenever you select a location, the aforementioned option will appear.
When you select this option, a small screen will appear that gives you the option to send this content to your phone directly via a notification or via an email account. If we choose the notification, it will automatically appear on the iPhone, and when pressed it will open Google Maps so that we can enter the requested information.
In this sense, we can also do exactly the same thing when we want to share a route or another type of information, through the option “Share” which appears in the context menu of Google Maps.
Now that you know this little trick, make the most of it.
