OK, first "issue" with the N6.

As I have noted in other threads, I have the Moto 360 and the N6. Starting yesterday I was getting the card on my 360 that it was 17 min to work. I was at work. o_O

So I go into maps and find that for some reason it has an address like 2 blocks from my home in there set as work??? (I did Moto Migrate from X to N6) and this is all supposed to be tied to GOOGLE services anyway so I thought it was odd. Anyway, I re-set "Home" and "Work" via maps on the N6 and .... last night on the drive home it told me "20 min to home slow traffic on I-435" so I thought hey good deal we're all better.

Then about 5 min ago I get the 17 min to work card again on the 360 - and I look and sure enough .... work is home and nothing I did yesterday was in effect. :confused:

Any ideas?

What if you set your home and work locations from the Google Dashboard in your PC browser?

Change jobs? ;)

Seriously, I just check the sync settings for my gmail account and i see everything but maps. Maybe theses changes aren't sync'ed back?

Nope same old salt mine. ;) I never looked at the sync options ... I never had to with my X, it's like if I did a search or a nav route on my PC it was on my X next time I opened it and vice versa. Never considered it may no longer do that in Lollipop ... hmmmmm.

Anyway I will see if it decides to work or not. o_O
 
Only thing i've noticed is the indicator in maps pointing the wrong direction occasionally.

Doing the ol figure 8 trick usually gets it pretty close
 
LOL, so I was down at our warehouse this morning ... about five minutes from the office (aka WORK) and about 40 minutes from home ... and I get a notification "6 minutes to home." :rolleyes:

Whatchagonnado? :confused:
 
After reading this thread I double checked mine.

I've been posting about my Nexus 6 and it's fault free operation. I really like Google Now so I use it constantly.

Frankly I'm almost afraid to report... mine is very accurate in fact it's identical to the reading on my Nexus 5.

You're going to hate me... Yikes! Why am I feeling guilty? I can't be the only one with a Nexus 6 that operates properly. Not to mention that I don't normally have luck this good.

I don't see how this is a Nexus issue, though. Most likely it's Google Now getting confused.
