You can now push Google Maps directions from your desktop to your smartphone

We all use our smartphones more often than we’d like to admit, but let’s face it: Typing on a full-sized keyboard will always be easier to do than on a handheld device.

All you have to do is type “Send directions” from the Google search bar, pick the location you want and send to a connected Android phone. The feature seems to be enabled only in the US for now, and should roll out to other countries soon.
