My wife has the uncaning ability to do things to a piece of electronic gear that neither she, nor anybody else can duplicate.

Somehow she managed to create a shortcut (?) on her home screen that is the GPS navigation to her brothers house. Anybody know how she did that one?
 
I know how but am unable to tell you exact instruction s at the moment. I so know its create short cut on him screen them directions type in a contacts name then hit done. Ill be able to post more exact directions when I get to a pc sorry

1. Menu (add to home) or hold down on the screen
2. Select shortcut
3. Select directions and navigation
4. Type address (a name may pop up select)
5. Select car, bus, bike or walk
6. Shotcut name
7. Select your special icon
8. Save
