How to define Home in favorites ?
  • Vote Up0Vote Down Madbiker7Madbiker7
    Hi,

    I'm learning Navigator on Android with OSM to begin.

    The main thing I can't solve is to define a "Home" favorite : my house !

    Every GPS device or app I know offers this function. If I want Navigator to bring me back home, I have to choose in my favorites as any others.

    If I set a single favorite, I mean outside a group folder, that one I could name "Home" goes at the bottom of the list behind the groups folders I created.

    I'm not good with that, is there a way ?

    Thanks

    you can drag your 'Home' entry up on top, above other favourites and folders

    Hi,
    Go to the map
    click on the location of your house
    a menu appears
    click on the star to add to favorites
    go to favorites
    click on the new favorites
    a menu appears
    click rename
    rename to "home"
    to reorganize the favorites, click on "AZ" or "ZA"

    Hi,

    Thanks for your fast answers.

    I succeeded in dragging my "Home" favorite (alone) at the top of the list. It was not evident, I had to drag group/folders down and put them on the star single "Home" to have them go under. This way it's good.
    Dragging the star up didn't work, I don't know why, my finger and stylet are OK ;-)

    Even with a "space" or a "1" at the beginning of my Home'name, reorganize AZ doesn't work, always folders first ordered AZ, not the star.

    Anyway I think that's not the best behavior, having a standard Home favorite is classic and useful.

    Not good!!! Someone steals your phone, they know where you live. Best to call it something else other than home.

    That is the negative view. 
    You loose your phone and the good, friendly finder knows where to send it to. :)

    Next to that: Even if they steal it, they first have to hack the pin code or whatever security you have on your phone.
    Unless everything is on SD-card and they access the Navigator data on your phone.

    Anyway: I do have my address in my phone.
