Anyone found a program so that someone can attach a gps location to an appointment in their calendar. My Garmin ique3600 could do this , it was running palm os 5 ..... anyone have a solution. I do sales and visit many many locations in a day so its great to just click on the appointment in calendar and hit the route me too it..........
If there is some secondary software that costs i wouldnt mind paying for it ( as long as i can back it up)....
My trinity arrives in less than a week, and i will need to integrate this immediately.....wm5 or wm6 upgrade, whichever will allow me to accomplish this !!!!

Oops I'm Late! v1.1 has this feature (Standard & Professional)
It was in part because of this thread that this feature was added to v1.1. It requires Microsoft Live Search (free) and allows the user to “attach a gps location to an appointment in their calendar” per the post. chavonbravo and totalpackage181, please private message me (oopsimlate) via this board w/your email addresses, your phone types and the registered owner name and I would like to give you both a free copy of the Professional version as a thank you.
To go from a calendar event to directions on the phone is a few short steps. After launching Oops I’m Late and once the location has been resolved (geocoded), go to the Destination menu, To Map and Microsoft Live Search launches w/the location as your destination. Now you can select Directions and pick the start/end to correspond to your destination. If you are not in a known location, set your start as a new location and pick Current GPS Position from the Choose Location dialog. You should be receiving directions and be on your way.
Best Regards,

PS: You could also do Categories, Map, Traffic, Movies and Gas Prices based on your destination.
in contacts you can click "show "home" on map" link and it opens google maps and takes you to the location.
This would be very usefull if it worked off location in calendar/appointments.
I have lots of appointments with people who are not in my contacts and i don't want to have to enter them as a contact. I would like a quick way to find their address in google maps.
But it is time consuming having to pull over in the car and enter addresses into google maps.
I am sure most business people would find this usefull.
My current method is to open the appointment, menu, edit, hold on location, select all, hold on location, copy, done. Hit home key, scroll to google maps in quick links, menu, search, hold in search bar, paste, ok. then if needed - tap for options, directions, see map.
There must be an easier way
Yeah. I would like to have this feature as well. Previously, with my i780 and Garmin MXT, I can integrate Garmin location with any appointment seamlessly. But now the HTC Sense (ie calendar/appointment) fails to integrate Garmin MXT locations.
I can't believe they didn't set this up
They did it for the contacts, must not be too hard for them to set this up for appointments.
Hope someone works out a solution.
I am on the same page, here is how I would like to do it.
I start a small business such as lawn care,post my number in the paper and other ads.
1. my phone rings (555)555-1234 calls, yes I will be buy to give you an estimate, can you be reached at this number?
2. copy* number
3. open opera, open google,in google paste the number (to get the address and personal info.)
4. open google maps
5. copy and paste address in Google maps get the location on the map and directions.
6. open options menu and choose add contact.
7. open google back up and choose the persons name, copy
8. open the contact back up, add name to contact, category to suit,
9. open Pocket informant* and create a new appoitment with the new contact linked phone(to call and confirm), linked address (for directions VIA map),for the estimate.
10. add in Callcalendar2 and all calls are logged to the calendar and also to the contacts note field.
Alot of rigamarole!!!!
IDEALLY it would work like this:
1. Phone rings (555)555-1234
2. From the Phone log choose +contact
3. New? or update existing?
4. New, lookup number?(Now it would be great to just look up phone in Google maps).
5. options,add all information?, YES DONE!
This opens contact to proof, menu, create appointment, Done!
Looking forward to a good solution.
I don't need that depth of functionality. Just simply having the "Location" field in an appointment, link to google maps. Seems logical to me, and can't be any harder to do that link than it is from "address" field in contacts.
I'd love to see calendar appointment location on google maps too,
has anyone found the solution?
YES! It is working!
I create appointment on PC, put Name and Phone number in the Title box, full address in the Where box, and whatever other notes I need down below.
On my phone, in the car, tap calendar, tap appointment, tap address (it is an underlined hyperlink), already told it to use Maps to open this type from now on, VZ navigator was another choice, map opens and shows destination. Tap destination, tap navigation icon, tap "driving navigation", and it starts working.
I would like to see an option to go directly from tapping address to driving navigation, skipping all the rest. That would be nice.
Now if we could just get google to link appointments to contacts, I'd be a very happy camper!
Link function in "location" in calendar needed
Yes, I agree. This is really annoying since it worked similar on my Droid. Since I upgraded to the Samsung Charge, I do not like that I cannot simply click on the location when viewing an event and it opening up in Google Maps. This function would be extremely helpful.
Android is the answer
This is now a past issue for me.
I changed my HD2 to android 2.3.3 and that is built in - links to maps and directions. Also google maps on Android runs as a fully functioning GPS navigator.
The HD2 is so versatile and easy to run Android on. CM7 is very nice. I run Nightly's version. Just bought a Desire HD and am running Honeysense.
Windows Mobile was good (I wazs long time user) - Android is now much better.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help with copilot. I have addresses saved for most of my contacts. I can click on each contact and then view the address on Google maps (a nice feature) and get directions if I wish. what I want to able to do is use that address to open copilot and get it automatically plot a route to it. does anyone know if this is possible? would be awesome if this could work
Hi, i got a problem, i want to push in a contact navigate to, i got igo 8 installt but when i push navigate to in contacts always the vodafone navigator starts.
i don´t want to flash my Rom....
Can i use a regedit to connect the contacts to igo?
Thanks
I'm not sure if it is for HD2 or general Android. When my contact has address typed in and I click "target-like" button next to address - "Locations" application starts and tries to find this address. And fails
Is there any way to launch Google Maps instead ?
Nobody knows ????
When I'm in Contact Details screen and that contact has address then next to address there is an icon to show this address on map. For me this application is "Locations". How to change it to Google Maps ?
