Points to note about route transfer

Path

In the route transfer, the departure place, waypoints and destination are transferred, but the path connecting them is selected by the transfer target app.

Therefore, different routes may be presented between the transfer source and the transfer target.

Waypoint

Because the upper limit of the number of waypoints that can be included in the route differs depending on the app, if the number of waypoints of the transferred route is too large, the transfer may fail or only a part of the waypoint may be transferred.

Conditions

Conditions such as transportation and toll road availability are not transferred.

Create Shortcut

You can create a shortcut on the Home screen to open the place / route with the map app.

Place shortcut

Create it with the following procedure:

• • Long tap the icon of the app

  • Edit shortcut name

  • A shortcut will be created on the home screen

Route shortcut

Route shortcuts can be created in the same procedure as the place.

Caution on creating shortcut

Handling of current location

When transferring the route including the current location, handling of the current location differs depending on the transferring source app.

There are two specifications:

• • Preserve current location at the time of sharing operation

  • Apply current location at the time of referring to shared results each time

When creating shortcut of “Route including current location” transferred from the app of the former specification, the current location on the route is fixed at the terminal location at the time of sharing operation.

Display location / route information

By short tapping the Map2Geo icon on the app selection screen, information on the place / route point will be displayed.

Tap an item to switch the display format of coordinates.

Cooperation with URL injector

If Map2Geo URL injector is installed, any Map2Geo supported map app can be launched from the link for displaying the map.

Map2Geo URL injector:

When opening a link to a map displayed on a browser etc., if the URL injector supports it, can acquire the coordinates and transfer it to the map app.
