saving google navigation locations

ucpro · #1 (**permalink**) 12-07-2009, 04:19 PM

my gps couldn't find the house that i was going to since i live in the boondocks. i know i won't be able to find it again without somebody navigating me through. when i do go again, i want to save the latitude when i get there of that location to a favorite place or whatever, so when i go again the gps can pick it up

Hopefully this will exist in the future, but the default Google Navigation has no favorites feature. Sorry.

there's an easy way i found: tap and hold on your home screen, select "shortcuts" from the menu, then choose "directions". this will allow you to create a link to the location in google maps. if you don't want your home screen cluttered with these links, just create a folder and drag all your links to it.

Nice find! Great workaround for now.
