I can confirm this.  Basically this tool just takes the URL that is currently 
in 
chrome and sends it to the phone. Since the phone can detect google maps URL's 
it 
launches the map app.  I got my phone to do the directions bit by taking the 
extra 
step of clicking the "Link" option just above the upper right corner of the 
map. 
Copy/paste the url given into the address bar and THEN click the chrometophone 
button.

Note, if you watch the keynote again its Day 2 Part 2 2mins 50secs you will see 
they 
had the full url in the demo as well.

Is there a reason you don't want the maps app to launch for a maps link?

I confirm this behavior. My phone fires up the browser instead it should auto 
fire 
intent for directions in the actual Google maps app.

There is an option in the .apk on the phone to open up map links in google maps 
instead 
of the browser

I can get it to open maps, but all it does at that point is show my current 
location. 
directions aren't sent through

I confirm the same behaviour as @goodlifechris

Map apps open showing current location.

Product: Nexus One with Froyo FRF50 (pre-release). 
APK (v1.0), CRX (v1.0.0) downloaded on 2010.05.24 2:44pm GMT

This could quite possibly be fixed by having the Chrome extension special-case 
maps.google.com and grab the 
"link" from the DOM tree instead of just the browser's location bar.

I also confirm the issue reported by @goodlifechris.  I also confirm the 
work-around by @tsnyder91, although I'm 
having varied success.  First attempt at sending directions, based on a 
location search that was previously sent to 
phone, didn't work.  But when I produced an entirely new set of directions in 
Chrome and sent *that* to my N1, it 
worked.  Also worked on a third try without pasting the link, which is the 
ideal.

Hoping there's a way for our heroes at Google to simplify this at some point in 
the future, but glad it works 
overall.  You guys are amazing, thanks.

I've made a fix for the problem related to directions not showing up on the 
phone. Please download the new 
extension and let me know if it works...

I just got chrome to phone going on my Motorolla Droid and am experiencing the 
same issue that is reported here. Tsnyders work around works for me.

mike,
What URL are you linking from?
ChrometoPhone should work with http://maps.google.com and 
http://www.google.com/maps

I was using http://www.google.com/maps which does not work for me.

Upon trying with http://maps.google.com it does indeed work.
