With today's surprise release of the free OS X 10.9 Mavericks update, Apple's Maps app makes its way from your smartphone to the bigger screen of your Mac laptop or desktop.

Dig deeper and you'll also find syncing with your Mac's address book, integration with the new OS X calendar app, and the ability to quickly send addresses and routes to an Apple iOS device with just a single click.

We've rounded up all of those features and show you how to send destination from your Mac to your iPhone in the gallery below. Click through for the full, photographic walkthrough.
