The service went live April 10 and it adds to the great ‘Send To’ features including Send to Cell, Send to Email and soon to come: Send to OnStar.

Remember you just choose the Send to GPS feature in the ‘Send’ pull down in the upper left of your maps or directions page.

You’ll be able to send your route or trip planning results to one of many compatible Garmin devices.
