Hi there,

I'm planning to get an iPhone (starting in Germany on 11/9), but after doing a lot of research in blogs/forums I haven't got the answer to the following question:

Is there an integration of Google Maps and the Email Programm?

Further clarification:

As far as I know, the iPhone got no GPS (yet), so the user has to select his location on the map. And links in Safari to http://maps.google.com get displayed in the custom iPhone map software. Is that true for the email app as well?

In other words: Can I click on the map, and send someone an email (or better: an SMS) including that location ("hey buddy, I'm here [LINK], let's meet in 10 minutes") ?

This would be a killer feature, is it possible? If not in email, what about posting the selected location on the map to a website?

Thanks for more information.
