Owners of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles enabled with Ford's SYNC system, as well as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Pontiac, Saab or Saturn vehicles via GM's OnStar navigation, can now take advantage of the "Send-to-Car" function.

To try it out, type in a destination into Google Maps search, click "Send," choose "Car" and then type in your car's details. You can then access the destination through your car's navigation system. It may sound like extra work to seasoned in-car navigators, but once you get used to it, it probably beats fiddling with the navigation system in the car.
