Help The Pre-Installed Navigational System.

[ludlum]

One of the features I like about this phone is its pre-installed Google Navigational System.

However, unlike my regular Sat-Nav [a Garmin] I can't seem to store my present location as "Home" or input a proper address; 15 Huntsville Drive, Dublin 4, for example [This is a made up address, btw ]

Does anyone know how this is done, or is it even possible?

Thanks.

Hi,

The way I do it is create a shortcut on one of the home screens and just call it home. That way you only have to click on a single icon and don't even have to open maps at all.

Thank, but I am not sure how it will help. A short-cut will take me to the navigational maps, for sure....but how will this help me set my home address?

Thanks again.

Thanks. That is a good idea and I tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't work in my case. I guess it's because I live out in the countryside here in Southern Ireland and my address is not currently recognised by Google Navigation. It tells me my location can't be found.

I am not sure why this should happen because when I look at the map the arrow shows the name of my area.

If you long press, add shortcuts, direction and navigation, add address.

This is how you add shortcuts in TouchWiz. When at the home screen, press the screen where it's free from icons and hold it. The phone will pop up a menu that has a number o options including one for shortcut.
