Shortcut to home

[Calibos]

that's exactly it!

@Rob-Verhoeff

Not for me it doesn’t.

Mine is the 3rd in the list.

@Lynchy67
Put an underscore as the first punctuation mark: _Home

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Lynchy67 Well, yeah, that's possible. I've only one 'Home' in my list. The suggestion of @Jack-van-Tilburg is the best in that case.

[Jörgen]

Home is one target in my favorites, means to clicks and I am driving home. So why a shortcut, did I miss something?

[Rob Verhoeff]

@Jörgen 'Home' is just one click if already in your recent searches or if you put it on top of your Favorites list. If not, and you have more favorites having 'home' in the name, you've to start typing 'home' in the searchfield until it pops up. Most dedicated navigation devices or apps have a real button saying 'Home'. I understand the wish completely. Do I need it? No, but still nice to have...

[Calibos]

If I understand your answers correctly, you find it good to have a hotel icon, station, parking , pharmacy... but not a home or work icon?
yet it's the same philosophy, isn't it?

To me, that seems obvious.

[Nick Carthew]

I think the favourites section is the natural place for these shortcuts.
Is it too much trouble to click and scroll through your favourites to find your home or work addresses!

[Calibos]

I do not think it is a question of difficulty to make this choice but it seems to me more practical and faster.
But you're right, it's still a convenience that you can do without. It seemed to me to be better for the application and quite easily achievable since the principle is acquired in the application.

@Calibos I enjoy the suggestion

Ok, understand. The address list or the favorite list should have a possibility to place some addresses (like home, work etc.) on top of all others, this should do it.

Tuurlijk zijn er altijd "work around' oplossingen voor iets simpels als een home knop.

Als ik onder weg ben en ik ben het zat wil ik niet allerlei dingen indrukken en bekijken. Ik wil gewoon 1 button en klaar. En dat moet gewoon rijdend kunnen. ja ja, ik weet het gevaarlijk en zo. Maar als de knop simpel voorhanden is valt het met gevaar wel mee. Nu ben ik verplicht te stoppen en dat kan lang niet altijd simpel of veilig

@Calibos

I have removed the word “Home” from the other people in my favourites and now have “Home” just for my personal address.

There are many routes to Rome, and a quick button to "home" sounds like an excellent idea to me, it does not forbid having a "home" also in your favorites.

and of course, it would be very nice to have a set of quick buttons, as it is not a good idea to play with a keyboard while riding, often used commando's could be on a quick menu, and why not configurable? then everyone can set his/her own priorities?

It would also be great to be able to group favorites - like "My Places" or "Holiday 2023" and maybe share those groups/points with a friend (not all friends).
