To resolve this try the following....
do your search, or directions, then click the "link" button.  copy and paste 
the link to the top address bar and hit enter.  The page will refresh, and now 
you can send it to the phone with the correct info

This works ok in the Send To Phone extension for Firefox.
We can share the fix if you want.

The issue is that Chrometophone does not send the current view from Google 
Maps, only the top page that is opened. (a default view of the USA). Users want 
to see the part of the map they have navigated to. The fix we have is as 
follows. Some changes to make it work in Chrome might be required.

// Then try to send the current view:
var link = doc.getElementById('link');
if (link && link.href)
    href = link.href;

Check out http://url.ie/6gx3 with Firefox to see it in action.

This would be much easier if the FF extension was accepted into the Trunk as we 
could share features, bug fixes and be made aware of upcoming changes to the 
serverside code so that a new version could be prepared before the change is 
made.
