Home/Work Confusion

Question

I'm experiencing an oddity with the UI, that I suspect is user error, but for the life of me I don't know what I am doing wrong.

When I click on the "My position" text in the navigation window the first two choices have icons that I interpret has "Home" and "Work, but strangely both have text that say, "My position". (see image below)

When I use the two links, it seems that I have been successful in connecting the icons to my Home and Work as they do show those locations correctly on the map. So far, so good, except for the confusing text.

When I click on the route button, A Better Route Planner correctly routes from my Home to my Work. But.... The program lists the locations as from "Work", to "Work" (See image below)

The experience on the iOS app is similar. 

 

Questions:

  1. How do I Set/Clear/Update my "Home" and "Work" locations
  2. Why do the Home and Work icons show the "My Position" text.
  3. How do I get the route display to correctly display my starting and ending locations.

Thanks for your help.

I think you selected the settings icon right beneath the address field (before you enter any address) and then clicked on ‚set as home‘ or ‚set as work‘.

If you first type the address in the text field instead, then click on the settings icon, and click on ‚home‘ or ‚work‘, you will get a address text for home/work.

This might help your issue for setting and updating home/work. ?

 

I didn‘t found out yet how to clear work/home ?

ABRP keeps reporting that I leave/arrive at work, but it is really my home. So, I set work  to be Anchorag, Alaska ( I live in VA) and it still reports me as leaving/arriving at work in VA. Home is set correctly.

I got this from ABRP Support; for clarity they are referring to the web browser version not the iOs or Android app:

If you’d like to change the locations you’ve set as “Home” or “Work”, you can simply save a new location as whichever you’d like to change as saving a new location overwrites the old one. 

1. Input any address just like you would when planning and make sure the planner finds the correct location on the map. 
2. Then click the input field again.
3. Now click the “SET” button next to ‘Work’ or Home’.

Thanks Rickj2903 - Like a lot of things on ABRP, it should not be so hard to do simple things!
