Default XC40 b3 GoogleMaps

Hi, im wondering if its possible to send GoogleMaps trip to ur Volvo car(just like Sensus "Send To Car"), considering both car and phone signed in to exact same Google account.
I did some reseach and some people say its possible others say its not.
Its not a huge deal if its not possible because u can search a location on ur phone and search history will instanatly sync with GoogleMaps in ur car, but i thought ill ask anyone. Cheers!

The destination from your Google Maps search on your phone will show on your maps in the car the next time you go to the car - it will show the most economical route for your car based on the road conditions at the time.

Yes it's possible. You need to have installed chrome beta in the car and somehow it enables something in the Google maps app on your phone (I'm an android user) for you to send destination to car

It's very easy.

You use the Google maps app on your phone and the phone needs to be logged into the same Google account as the car.

You then choose "send to connected vehicle"

When you get into the car it'll be showing the destination immediately and you just press Go on the screen.
