In a Google+ post in the early hours of this morning, Google have announced that they have expanded the capabilities and integration of your Desktop Google access and maps on your phone.

By simply typing “send directions” into Google on your desktop machine, you’ll be able to push directions from there to your mobile device quickly and easily. Very handy if you’re just on your way out the door to a meeting, or heading to a location you’re not familiar with. The additional functionality seems to be rolling out slowly at the moment, I have access where my co-worker does not; so if you try it and have no luck be patient because it will come.

Do you think that the new functionality offers you any time saving, or is this just a twist on recent searches appearing in Google Now?
