Home and Work favorite should have "use current location" to add, not just search for address

This favorite is great. But it should have a "Use current Location" button to add your Work and Home. Searching for an address it will not show exactly where the house is, in this case in Ecuador, if it's a new home or not on the database.

    I live in the UK and have this problem. UK postcodes do not accurately locate rural properties.

    As Jason has indicated, the ability to add the Work location by selecting a point on the map is possible (I am using Release 3.9.2.1). However, I was not able to add a new Work location until I first "Remove from Favorites" the existing Work location. I was also able to enter a Work location by entering the Latitude, Longitude values into the "Search" bar at the top of the screen. I used Google maps to find the location, then right clicked on the location, then selected "What's here?" to get the Latitude, Longitude values. I do think that Waze should make the functionality of adding a Work/Home location from a point on the map more intuitive with an option to "select a point on the map" option from the "Tap to add" menu screen.

    It hasn't long been solved. Still frustratingly difficult to specifically denote Home or Work. When I'm there, let me say I'm Home or at Work. Because I travel to different clients, Work changes frequently. I've given up on trying to update that, which would be a handy feature.

    This problem has long been solved. Tap and hold on the spot where you want to save the favorite an then you can bring up a menu where the favorite can be saved.

    Totally agree!
    Spent half an hour trying to figure outhow to do it and failed. So frustrating.

    I'm out of votes, so I'm bumping the suggestion.

    Even if people make an error free entry, they move and they change jobs. Changing home and work locations should be simple.

  • David Cardenas commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is urgent, I haven't be able to update my work drirection because it's unsearchable!!!!

  • Leo_ap commented  ·   ·  Report

    this is a useful way to add favorite. I would love it!!!!

  • jasonh300 commented  ·   ·  Report

    When you get home, or to work, touch the location of home or work on the map and hold it. Then you'll get an option to save as a favorite. Name it Home or Work and then delete the one that's not in the correct location.
