I suppose I don't understand how this new "my maps" works because the only thing it seems to give us the ability to do is to tag locations, and not get directions to those locations. I guess what I wish they would come out with would be an upgrade to the current Google Maps application that allows us to tag locations and then get directions to those tagged locations. Such as setting up a "Home" location, or if you are following someone to a friends house being able to tag that location so that way you can easily get directions from that location (great if you don't pay attention while following) and then get directions to that location at a later time (perfect for if you have to go back to that house a few months later and have no one to follow.) Along the same lines would be having the ability to track your route that way you can follow the same route back out (helpful in confusing neighborhoods). If this is possible with this app PLEASE let me know, because it would be very helpful, but I guess I'm just not taking full advantage of this new "My Maps" application because I don't fully understand it. Anybody have some answers on this?
Yeah, it's called Garmin Maps. Wait for it.
