Ok so, Google Calender Supports Location (in the Where Field) which in the web interface shows up as a map.
But on the G1 it just displays the location as text, not a link to the maps app.
Is there a known way or work around without copying the data from editing the event and then pasting into the maps search (not the best solution)?
Thanks in advance
Hi all, I'm self employed and receive most of my work via email with the details in a pdf or doc file.
If at home I just transfer the details to calendar on my PC which syncs with my google calendar and then onto my note calendar. From the note calendar I can tap the location field and navigate to the customer with google maps and, if necessary, tap the contact number to call the customer easily while on route.
The problem is this requires manually typing the data from the document into the calendar. Easy on my PC but a pain in the butt if I'm on the road at the time.
Does anyone know of a way to automate this so I can do it easily from my note?
In summary I want to be able to get the job details into the calendar (stock at moment but not set in concrete), specifically the address into the location field and contact name and number into the description field.
Would it work if I got them to send out as a calendar invitation, I assume but don't know for sure, that they use outlook.
Sorry for the long drawn out question, I hope it makes sense. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Love using the note for my jobs but need to be able to streamline it's use when jobs come in on the road. At the moment I have to open the email, download and open the attachment, write down the details and either enter them into a diary event or type them directly into phone/navigation as appropriate. Not exactly high tech

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
imo the simplest solution would be if customers would send you invitations from google calendar - when accepted would automatically get into your note calendar,
Thanks p107r0,
I think it will also work if they create a diary event on their system and invit me as an atendee. In theory I then get an email invite which, if I accept it will populate my calendar.
Just messing with it myself and seems to work. I'll have to get my companies to try it out if I can convince them.
genious question, brilliant idea for an app, someone should make it

What if you did some sort of mashup where your clients go to a google hosted google apps page with a google spreadsheet that is acting as a form,
in this they can type the requirements.... and perhaps can select / type who they are (or perhaps type their UID which does a lookup to prevent data protection act) that has an action of add to calendar + email alert for you with the attached PDF that they select in the form?
I might have a look in to this myself as it seems kinda fun!
Edit: Found this example, that is kinda close

Second edit
Perhaps http://www.jotform.com/ can help.
Thanks fooby, at moment I'm working on getting them to set up a calendar event and inviting me as an attendee as I think that will work with a few tweaks.
Trouble is getting them to play with me

Hi guys,
is there any possible way to let me Login into my Google Maps account? That´s like the only thing I miss on my else google free phone.
Not unless someone finds a way to Install GMS on it.
The one thing you could try is to use GMaps via the Browser then you should be able to log in
I use 10.49.3 version, to have guidance (it's the latest version where I could find that guidance).
Can't login ...
Install Gspace by searching via Huawei App Gallery and you will be able to install Google Map with your account
The only problem I'm facing is that after reaching my location by navigation I can't press done to stop the navigation.
I have Maps 10.67.2 on Gspace 1.0.6.
If I open the app and set my home as destination (being home already), it's saying "welcome home" and I can press "done" (it works).
Hello,
I use Tasker mainly for tasks concerning my bluetooth devices (e.g. headphones and car to start the music player).
Recently, I started using Android Auto in my car.
In a lot of situations, I drive and my partner searches for an address on her phone. Afterwards I have to tell Google Maps on Android Auto the address. To make this process more efficient, our idea is that my partner sends me the address through a messenger and I directly have it in my Android Auto/Google Maps.
We tried the following:
My partner sent me the Google Maps link through a messenger and the Google Assistant in my car just read out the text. Unfortunately the Google Assistant does not recognize the Google Maps link.
What I want to do therefore is:
- Use Tasker with NotificationListener Plugin
- I made a profile which listens to notifications in my messenger app. As soon as there is a text in the notification which begins with "https://maps." an action is started.
- And at this step I don't know how to continue.
Can someone help me with the actions?
I have to check the variable %nltext and click on the Google-Maps link. How do I do this?
Thank you very much.
EDIT: I found my mistake. I had to set a global variable which consists of the local variable %nltext to be able to use the split function. I thought, I could also split local variables.
Hello,
I want to send an email using a voice command from google home . For eg. I say 'Hey Google, Add a task buy gift' and I want to send an email to [email protected] with ' buy gift'.
I searched everywhere on the web for this but what I find no longer matches with what I find on the google home app or IFTTT. Most of the pages that suggest IFTTT point to Google Assistant and this is no longer available on IFTTT app but I find 'Google Assistant V2' Some of the pages suggest using Routines on Google Home but there is no Routine to send email on Google Home app. anyway to get this done?
