Google Maps - Windows Live - bookmarks for locations?

Is there any way to save bookmarks for locations on these apps?
I have not found anything on google maps and I wonder how well WindowsLive performs on the Pro and if it allows to do so...
Any ideas / opinions?

You can in google maps, you search for a location and then you can add it to your favorites list.

Can you tell me how... maybe I am blind... I cannot find any favorite list in the menu...

opera google results, not taking me to the right page when clicking the link

as the title says,
when i search on google in the built in opera, the browser does not direct me to the actual page, instead it takes me to google definition to the name I clicked on.
its not eve displayed in english.
anyone knows how to solve this?

Is that via the Google search bar in TouchFlo? That one takes you to stripped out versions of the web sites for mobile use and speed, which is annoying since Opera is fast enough already... If so then just use Opera to go to google.com and choose full HTML rather than mobile view, bookmark it/make it the homepage and search from there.

Polaris Office and Google Docs...how do I get them to communicate?

So I like it so far, but when I have no clue how to access the google docs with this app that was preinstalled in my tablet. The only option its giving me is box.net sync.
How do I get it to do Google Docs?

You're not alone.
It seems many people have had problems with only being able to add a box.net account instead of Google Docs and box.net. The problem seems to exist only with certain builds of Polaris Office, because both options are available to some users. I'm not sure if the most recent versions have dropped support for Google Docs or if this is just a bug that exists in some builds that many of us ended up with.
I haven't found a real solution for the missing Polaris feature, but you could:
- Download the Google Docs app.
- Access your docs using the Google Docs app.
- Long press on one of your documents and use the "Open With" option to open the file with Polaris Office.
- Edit/save your files using Polaris.
- Then use the Send menu option in Polaris and select "Docs" (Google Docs).
- You'll be given the option to upload the file to your Google Docs account with or without conversion to Google Docs formats.
- You should see a notification of whether the upload completed successfully or not.
- Go back to the Google Docs app and you should see your updated file listed.
I hope that helps.

Much appreciated! I guess I'll have to go the alternate route. What a shame. I feel that this is either a bug or a development choice by Samsung. I really like this tablet, but they are making it hard for me to choose their products again.

Google search bar widget, I constantly lose my current web page

So if I navigate to a Web page using the Google search bar widget, and I'm writing a message into some random web sites contact page, I'll get like half way through writing some intricate message, and navigate away to go retrieve some needed info, and if I end up entering a new search inquiry into the Google search bar widget, get the needed info, and then return to the page where I was typing the message,
To my dismay, I immediately become extremely irked to discover that page I was on is now gone.
Of course I know how to access the recent pages list and navigate back to that web page, but of course that intricate message I was typing is now gone...
On the other hand, if I was doing the same task completely using the Google Chrome app itself, I am sufficiently aware that navigating away from a page will cause me to lose anything on that page, so I of course make sure to open a new tab and do my search there, and then return to the other tab to complete the text fields successfully.
However when I'm doing this when I have originally accessed the page from the Google search bar widget, and then initiate a new search from the widget, that page then is instantly lost.
Is there any way to enable a history with any text entered into forms saved for a certain period of time?
Or any way to force the Google search bar to initiate the search using the Chrome app in a NEW tab..?
I'm aware of the "open in chrome" option within the Google app, but this issue generally happens when I forget or don't realize I'm in the Google app, and then get totally f*d
This is already a long enough post, but hopefully you can follow my run on sentence structure and understand what I'm trying to ask.
Am I the only one who experiences this issue? Surely not right?
If anyone has a solution to this problem please share

Im super excited to say I think I answered my own question.
Open the Google app. (Not the Chrome app, but the Google app)
Click your account icon bubble(top right)
Click settings
Click general
Locate option "open web pages in the app"
Unselect/disable that option
Now when u initiate a web search with the Google search bar widget, as soon as you Click a link to any website, it will open as a new tab in your default web browser
Update:
Yes this definitely works perfectly, and if youre reading this and your name is Google,
I would highly recommend this be disabled by default..
what would be the reasoning for this being enabled by default?
I've been getting fked by that setting on AT LEAST a weekly basis for YEARS!
Woo hoo

How to add new google account through chrome instead of system settings?

Hello,
I need to add a new account to google through chrome, because I have to use desktop mode while doing this for some security reasons.
When I try to do this in chrome, it automatically jumps to system settings.
If I do it in a chrome incognito tab, it works, but I need to do it in normal tab.
Is there a way to do this?
Or else, is there a way to copy the url of the sign in page inside system settings?
