Hello

I just wanted to enquire is there a way to share a map location, other than my current location using Windows Phone 8 Maps app, or does this functionality require a third party app. Could someone please describe to me how to do this if it is possible. For example if I have located a restaurant on the map app how do I message my friends the location of the restaurant.

Thanks for any assistance
 
When you search for a "restaurant", click on it, and click "share".

Its the middle button between the "pin" and "add to favorites".
 
Thanks for the feedback. Just to clarify in the maps app if I search for the restaurant it displays on the map the location. If I then click on the search result flag on the map displays a screen like this see attached / inserted from here I can share these results:

When sent to someone else comes up like a bing search result as opposed to just the location. Have I missed something
 
Aaaaahhh. Ok. Thank you very much for that info. For some reason my address or the second url which should open directly in maps is just text not a hyperlink? Least I know it is possible. thanks for the information
