How do you send an address from your iPhone to the Navigation?

i use bing on phone within the Enform apps to find address and then put it in saved destinations. Then when get into car with phone, go to apps and saved destinations icon and hit it, You will be asked if you want to synch the folder and hit yes. Then you can go to and mark to save in address book. I am trying to figure out how to do it from computer but even though I have an Enform account, the edestination folder icons are not activated.

Agreed. This is probably the easiest way to find an address and input it in the car. As far as edestination goes, I used to use it a lot on my 11 ISF with the old app. It worked similar to the saved destinations feature but you would download them through the edestination feature on the car. The only disappointment I have with this latest version is that the old app is no longer supported with edestination. the only way to use it is on my PC at home which is really not as convenient.

So currently if Im in my GS driving down the road, I hit Siri & I say "Take me to McDonalds on Lindbergh"& it gets me there. I do not have to input anything. Is there any thing that can be done in the GS that could transfer that address to Nav through Siri?

How do you get destination (addresses) into the eDestinations folder?
I see how to get results from Bing to destinations folder, but what about addresses not in Bing?

The Lexus Driver's website lets you create folders and input eDestinations. Your phone will go online and feed that stuff to your car when it asks if you want to sync. It's clumsy and backwards but it works and you can plan point-by-point stuff for a road trip or vacation in advance.

These days I'm more of a fan of using the voice activated stuff with the nav. I had it look for a specific restaurant I was meeting some friends at (that I hadn't been to) and I think it found it on Yelp and took me there. No address from me though, it did all the work.
