Re: Google maps integration contacts

Using Titanium (windows default) the right "menu" in contacts has a "Locate in Google Maps..." link. Note that it's dimmed if you have no address in the contact but the menu choice is there.

So if you enter the address while saving the contact you're good to go.

While on the phone call, that requires clicking "contacts" softmenu while on speaker phone and inputting the new contact & addy. Save & the contact is done.

Then later on from call log you can click into contacts & go to google map, etc.

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.
