How to create a new location

Creating custom-saved locations such as “Home”, “Starbucks” or "Office" is a great way to make tracking even faster. Instead of searching for your address via GPS coordinates, the app will automatically choose that location as a Start or End destination whenever you park within 500 meters of the address.
