Current Location as Favorite
91
Now Implemented!
Description
Provide an option to save the current location into the list of Favorite nav locations (beyond Home and Work).
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
I’m not sure what the exact GPS term is, but on my old Garmin GPS, I was able to push the screen at a current location to create a new favorite place. I would love to be able to do that in my Tesla.
This is available in many in-car and stand-alone GPS products.
Status
Implemented in v10 software. Press and hold the spot on the map, and a small dialog appears. You can then navigate to or save that spot as a favorite by tapping the star.

@JVU, what I'm suggesting is a little different. I do create a favorite from a destination, but I'd like to be able to create a pinpointed favorite from a current, not navigated, location. I often am somewhere that I haven't entered into the map but that I wind up, or pass by, that I'd like to save. I don't want to have to know the address or store name to create a favorite.
An example is my eye doctor. The GPS location is actually very wrong. It's about 1/4 mile off, in the WRONG direction off a highway. But I know where it is, so I'd like to be able to just press the screen when I am at the office to save it.

You can do this already in a way. Enter a destination in by text or voice, select it to navigate to, click the checkered flag to see the destination on the map, then click to add as a favorite. Has the advantage of see exactly what address you are adding, rather than just clicking the map or saying add current location, which could be off from your actual target.
