Home position
-
Is there a setting which remembers your home position permanently?
Then can the route planning app.then default to this start point when the app is opened on my computer?
At the moment the start screen offers a world view into which i have to enter my start point on each occasion i use the app.
Also when checking my route to ensure all waypoints are positioned correctly on the route line it is a pain to continually have to confirm/name the waypoint in its new location even if the correction was minimal. Perhaps i am missing somthing in the settings?Regards

Australia@Lex-K-Franks-0 Do you use a VPN as this could prevent your location being used.
As for asking for a name for each waypoint, you can un-select that option in the toolkit. -

Australia@Lex-K-Franks-0 Beside the suggestion of @nick-carthew, most computers do not have a GPS chip but determine your location using provider data (IP address, Wi-Fi network, or other network information). For example, if you have refused permission in your browser to share your location, the route planner on the website will indeed open with the globe as the starting point.

I work with a VPN and sometimes my laptop "thinks" it is somwhere where I might want to be.

As a solution, I made 2 favorites:- thuis (home) is always my startingpoint and is 100 meters from my homeaddress
- thuiskomst (homecoming) and is always the end of a tour and is my real homeaddress
I need to clicks to add them as a waypoint.
