Thanks.

Has been, is, and will continue to be. I currently have an HTC One M8.

Thanks. I noticed you are reluctant to give more details about how you happen to have an iPhone with you. I understand, so won't ask more questions on that.

If it's REALLY required to use Google Maps maybe try changing to Google Calendar for iOS.

Since I know nothing of iDevices and what is considered propriatery vs. shared with Google, it was meant as AN adjective rather than THE adjective. I probably should have qualified it with exempli gratia or maybe even square brackets.

Fair enough. I just read it as he wanted it to open in Google Maps but was sent to Apple Maps as it's an Apple phone.
I know nothing of the Apple stuff, kids had/have the iPod, iPad and now iPhones.

While investigating how to make a Win10 USB recovery drive I read the following at pcworld.com (magazine):
PC World Mag says Plug in an empty flash drive with a capacity of 4GB or more. Note that Microsoft says you'll need a USB drive that is "at least 4GB" but in our experience you'll need at least an 8GB drive, and possibly even a 16GB drive, and they are so cheap these days it doesn't hurt to err on the side of caution anyway
What about when you are buying these solely for saving as recovery drives and you have 4 people in your family?
Why not 32GB, Microsoft? Why not just force us to mirror our drives completely? Why not?! It's just money, Microsoft.
And you got plenty. 
This completes my rant...for the moment.

Why recover win 10? dust off your old win 7 recovery disk and you're way ahead.

That is an upgrade that I would prefer.
At work they got me a new laptop with W10 on it. I also had an older desktop machine with W7 on it. I prefer to work with W7 by a large, large margin so I let the laptop monitor my e-mail for me and that's about it until I have to travel somewhere which is moderately frequent.

Depending on the manufacturer of your computer you can ask them to send you a recovery USB.
I own a Lenovo laptop and I did it... in less than 4 days I received for free a recovery USB which I used to install Windows 10 with all the drivers and so...
PS: This solution allows you to fresh install W10, not to back up your data or similar.

Wow!
Very interesting. Never would've known laptop manufacturer would do that.
I have a Toshiba and other family members have HPs.

Looks like you're yelling at the wrong person. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I know. But Microsoft has deep pockets so I go after them like everyone else.
Oh, and also I'm complaining at them for not telling me the exact size I should buy.
At lunch, I picked up 3 16GB for $17.98. Not too bad, I guess.

There ya go. A good while ago I bought a dozen such thumbdrives (16GB each), so I'm done with this dilemma once and for all. I've been using them to make bootable versions of everything from Windows 7/2008 R2 onward, and a few Linux distributions.
And since they're rewritable, every time there's an updated ISO (Win10 1607 vs 1703 for example), I just blow away the older version and replace it so I always have the latest and greatest ready to go.
Oh, and if you don't already have it: Rufus is a must.

I suppose Microsoft could have said nothing, and then the first person that tried to make such a recovery drive with only 8GB capacity, and ran out of room, would be ranting about not being notified.

I agree with you and I see what you mean.
This is yet another thing they've taken from us. One less thing I can gripe about.

Depending on your PC brand, you will not have use of it.
Example: I own a HP, and as much as I hate them as a brand, they have a great recovery tool embedded. From it (I am talking about a program that starts during PC bootup, not a windows program), you can backup data, start in safe mode, create another partition, re-install Windows10 afresh, etc...

You are correct and make a great point. However, in the case of all of my family's PCs, we bought the least expensive laptops we could find, immediately cloned the HDDs, copied them to smaller (because of cost) SSDs and replaced.
When we did the clone to SSD work, the new drives are so much smaller (500 GB to 120GB and 1TB to 500GB) that the recovery drives were lost since they wouldn't exactly fit. That's not a great explanation but the free cloning software thought the other partitions (recover) wouldn't fit so we just left them behind. That's what has driven me to get the new USBs.
Thanks for chiming in.
