Send a location to your phone

Did you know that when you see a location on a map (typically one with an address), you can send that location's data to your cell phone?

This feature has been in place for years - mainly because I felt if there is a location highlighted on the map, it would be great if you could send it to yourself or others as a reminder to visit.

It sends a small file called a vCard - which is an electronic business card - that most mail systems know how to process and add to the address book. This feature easily works for email clients like Outlook and Lotus Notes.

If you've never heard of a vCard - pull up your address book in your favorite email client now. Create your own entry, and save it as a vCard. The next time you run out of those little paper business cards, send someone your vCard.

Then remember that Mapicurious can send locations via vCard.

Thanks,
