Google maps integration contacts
This is one thing I miss! On an energy ROM on my diamond I used to be able to look up an address in an options menu on a chosen contact.
I could choose add to contacts from a menu in Google maps.
Or in the contacts menu I could "locate on map" from the contact info.
Ideally here is how it should work, (also posted this along time ago at XDA)
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. Now and all calls are logged to the calendar and also to the contacts note field of the chosen contact.
A lot of rigmarole!!!!
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, look up number?(Now it would be great to just look up in Google maps).
5. options,add all information?, YES, DONE!
This opens contact to proof. Choose menu, create appointment, Done!
Right now there is no locate on map from contact.
No add to contact from google maps.
So it is very time consuming, especially while driving.
