Hi,

to save your home as a favorite, once you are at the location select add favorite, select the next page and then select gps position.

cheers

There are LOADS of ways to mark a favourite.

You can also locate any place you like on the "browse map" page, tap it to get the blue cursor where you want (zooming in as necessary) and then by tapping the cursor button at the bottom, save it as a Favourite OR as a POI in any of your own added categories.

Is your home on a mapped road? If so, you should have no problem. If not, and the location is very far from a mapped road, you cannot get routing to it. TT's cannot route to just any entered coordinates. Must be on or fairly near a road shown on map.

That depends....
There was some discussion about this some time ago, and IIRC you could position a user-POI well off a road and it would navigate to the nearest point on a road, but it would refuse to route to a similarly placed Favourite.
(Or it might have been the other way round! Laughing
