Usar o Google Maps para definir um destino no sistema de GPS

"How To Send a Google Maps route destination from your computer to your Leaf's Navigation System

This was first hypothesized here, then broke out in a conversation here and I promised to do a quick write up on details for others in the Tips forum (sorry, I tend to be verbose!) There's no reference to the Google Maps bits (although some of the others are covered a bit) so here's my best shot at detailing it/wrapping it together so others can do it, too.

What You'll Have When Done With Setup Below
You can enter a route on your computer in about 20 seconds/4 clicks, the route will be sent to your car, automatically downloaded when you start-up the car, and with a final 3 clicks on the car's touchscreen, you'll be navigating to your Google Maps Route Destination.

Intro: The Carwings Router Planner is sluggish (though it does include range estimation based on your vehicle's state of charge). For many of us, Google Maps is our preferred route planner and I've discovered how you can send a Google Maps route destination from your computer to your Leaf's Navigation system. No more printing maps, writing down addresses on a sticky note or scrap of paper, etc.

Disclaimer: Exact procedures may vary depending on software versions in your vehicle. Be careful when setting/sharing your Carwings login name (not your nickname) since no secondary factor of authentication (e.g., a password) is required to send a route destination to your vehicle. These instructions do assume you have your Leaf and have Carwings setup and working with it (normally done upon delivery of the vehicle). Google claims that only the destination address is sent to the vehicle.

Step 1A: Get Driving Directions in Google Maps & Send the Route Destination to your Carwings account
Visit http://maps.google.com/ from any computer
Use the search box to enter a start and end point for your route (e.g. "1551 Auto Park Way, 92029 to 8118 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, 92111"). Don't enter the double quotes and make absolutely sure you click on the 'Search Maps' button to the right of the search bar or it may not work
Driving Directions will be displayed - adjust as necessary if your addresses weren't specific until you have a clear 'Point A' to 'Point B' route
In the upper right header of the page will be some links to 'Print', 'Send', and 'Link' your Driving Directions. Click 'Send'.
A window will pop-up defaulting to sending the directions to an email address. In the left column, click on the second option 'Car'
Change the 'Name' of your route if you like, Choose 'Nissan' as the 'Make' and enter your Carwings username(a.k.a, your PIN from your Carwings setup sheet) in the 'NISSAN CARWINGS account' field next to it, add any notes you like, and click the 'Send' button. Note that checking the 'Use as default' box caches/stores a cookie on the computer you're using to remember the 'Make' and 'Nissan Carwings Account' field - so be sensitive about checking this box on public computers, etc. (but it makes things a lot faster for repeat entries)
Google sends the destination to the Carwings service which in turn, makes it available to your Carwings account and ultimately to your vehicle itself.

ALTERNATE Step 1B: Find a Destination in Google Maps & Send it to your Carwings account (courtesy of garygid)
Visit http://maps.google.com/ from any computer
Use the search box to enter an address (Destination) (e.g. "Hometown buffet, Santa Ana CA"). Don't enter the double quotes and make absolutely sure you click on the 'Search Maps' button to the right of the search bar or it may not work
Up to several 'pinned' locations will be displayed - looking at the pin locations on the map, or the descriptions in the left column, note the pin letter that you are interested in (e.g. the HTB on 17th Street)
In the upper right header of the page will be some links to 'Print', 'Send', and 'Link' your Driving Directions. Click 'Send'.
A window will pop-up defaulting to sending the directions to an email address. In the left column, click on the second option 'Car'
Choose "your" pin letter from the 'Include' dropdown list at the top of the Send window (e.g., 'B. Home Town Buffet'), choose 'Nissan' as the 'Make' and enter your Carwings username(a.k.a, your PIN from your Carwings setup sheet) in the 'NISSAN CARWINGS account' field next to it, add any notes you like, and click the 'Send' button. The same security precautions about saving your default settings apply
Google sends the destination to the Carwings service which in turn, makes it available to your Carwings account and ultimately to your vehicle itself.
Note: This works for any location you've found on Google Maps and allows you to send the corresponding address to your car.

Step 2: *Manually* Retrieve the Route Destination from your Carwings account and use it to set a new destination in your Leaf Navigation System.
Start-up your car. You must be logged into Carwings for this to work (normally, you remain logged in after initial setup) and must have wireless network signal for your car.
After acknowledging the Nag Screen by clicking 'Accept', press the physical button labeled 'Zero Emissions' located on the extreme lower right of your navi display
Navigate using the touch screen to Carwings -> All Information Feeds -> Google Maps -> Send To Car
Carwings will connect to your account and download the Route Destination you sent to the service earlier
After downloading, it will 'speak' the info to you. While it's doing this, press the 'Pause' button. (If you miss it, you have to hit 'replay?' then Pause while it's playing.)
Pressing Pause brings up another menu with several options.
Pressing 'New Destination' sends the Route Destination to your Navigation System and starts you on a route to get there.
Pressing 'Add to Route' allows you to add the Route Destination to an existing route you're already navigating on.
Pressing 'Store Point' allows you to store the Route Destination to your Navi's address book.

Optional Step 3: *Automatically* Retrieve Route Destinations from your Carwings account on Leaf Startup
Navigate to Zero Emission Button -> Carwings Settings -> Information Feed Setting -> Download Automatically -> Select Download Interval
Choose 'Power On' (or another interval you prefer)
Navigate to Zero Emission Button -> Carwings Settings -> Information Feed Setting -> Download Automatically -> Select Information Feed
Choose 'Google Maps', then 'Send To Car'. You should receive a confirmation of 'Automatic Connection to <Send To Car> will be performed at Power on.'
Now, whenever you power on your car, it'll automatically connect to the Carwings service and download any new Google Maps Route Destinations you've sent

Note RE: Deletion of Feeds
Navigate to Zero Emission -> Carwings Settings -> Information Feed Setting -> Delete All Information Feed Records
Once you press delete, this deletes ALL of the feeds you've previously downloaded to your car (including your Google Maps Route Destinations). It however *does not* delete them from your Carwings account. As such, the next time you update the feeds (manual or auto), you will re-download the feeds you just deleted if you haven't sent new ones to your account up to a maximum of 6 feeds before they auto-delete

Note: Unfortunately, there's no online management of your Google maps Route Destinations. With some testing, it looks like it holds a max of 6 destinations in your Carwings account at any given time and basically, it's FIFO (First In, First Out) though it does seem to have a concept of keeping unread Route Destinations from the feed and not allowing them to be deleted until being 'read' (within the limit of 6, of course). Bottom line, you can keep sending as many Route Destinations from Google Maps as you want and you'll always have 6 on your vehicle after the sync with your Carwings account.

Note RE: Mobile Support
One thing I thought would be really cool is if you could do this on your smartphone and send to your car that way. Unfortunately, in my tests on an Apple Iphone (Maps), a recent Froyo Android phone (Maps and Navigation), and a Blackberry 6.x (Google Maps), I found no way to do this. You may be able to do it via a WAP/Safari/Opera/etc. browser but I didn't waste my time going that route.

Hope this helps.

Realmente, com tantas possibilidades é uma pena a Nissan limitar tanto o número de trajectos, pontos de interesse e até musicas no cartão de memória? Ao preço actual das memorias :roll:
