Home
Overview
The Navigation home is the starting point for searching for an address, a point of interest (POI) or personal locations like favorites and recent destinations. Here the map can also be used to explore and discover what is around you.
Destination entry
Next to the text search, the destination entry panel contains shortcuts to Home, Work, favorites, recents and a search for a common POI category. If user has already set their Home or Work addresses, tapping these elements would lead straight to guidance.
Below these items, various suggestions are shown. By default, the three most recent destinations are shown as suggestions.
On the map, there is a dedicated Charging Finder button, which is also located in another steps in the app. By tapping this button, you can view Electric Vehicle (EV) Point of Interest (POI) results based on your current location, along your route, or near your destination, depending on whether you have a route or not.
Suggested destinations
When users have a predictable weekly commute, the app will begin suggesting these locations as destinations according to the user's schedule.
These destination suggestions will be prioritized in the recent destinations section, with an indication of why they are shown at the top of the list.
Shortcuts
