Change Home Location

[Comanche]

Total newb here.

I just registered for the free premium package.  When I first opened the map, I had my VPN connected and the "current location" was close to where the VPN server was located.  Not knowing what I was doing, I checked that place as "Home."

I just turned off the VPN, and "Current Location" is still the original location from using the VPN.  I can find no way to change the Home address from the VPN generated location to the actual address.  How do I change it?

Thanx in advance.

When you are creating a route each point on the route should have the gear icon and the X icon.  The X icon deletes the point from the route.  The gear icon allows you to adjust the settings for that point.  The setting options for the point should include: "Set as Home" and "Set as Work."  So if you route to your home, click on the gear next to your home address and then select "Set as Home".

Hi @Comanche,

1. Type your home address (in any of the address fields)
( It can be helpful to select a matching option from the drop-down to directly give the planner an exact location (with coordinates) as it in some situations can happen that the planner does not directly find the address.)
2. Click the cogwheel to the right of the input address
3. Click Set as > Home

This will overwrite the previously saved address.

Katya,

There is no "Set as > Home" option after clicking the cogwheel that I can find.

I'm using Version 4.1.5 (604) in desktop Safari and v4.1.5 (603) on iPhone

That was still the old UI. In latest version either right click your home location with mouse in browser or long click on phone app and in the appearing location details screen you should see the possibility to set home.

I'm having the same issue, the UI is very unintuitive in its new form and doesn't work for me, you click the set button and it doesn't change the home location. I tested this using Windows 11 / Google Chrome 96.0.4664.45. I've attached a video/gif of the issue.

If you see any bugs please use the report issue functionality from the app.

I can set the Home address, the problem is changing it.
Please provide a screenshot showing how to change the home position

Excuse me for being dense, but I typed in address and once it asked me for Home/Work and did not again. When I type in my address, it find it in the drop down, I click on it and it filled it in.  I click again and nothing happens. I cannot change Work and I cannot enter Home.

As a workaround, I deleted my account (which I had only recently created, so not much to information to lose) and immediately recreated it with the same username. I now have the ability to set the Home location again. And interestingly my newly created account's settings still had my correct car setting.  But this bug of not being able to reset the Home location is annoying.

Is there now a way to change eg work address in the app or elsewhere?
