So you’ve already created shortcuts of frequently visited websites on the home screen. In the same way, you can select some of your regularly used navigation routes and create a shortcut for them directly on the home screen.

I use the Google Map Navigation app on my Android tablet regularly for getting traffic and route updates, and here is how I’ve created navigation shortcuts on my home screen for my frequently used routes.

Your current location will be the starting point by default and you need to type in where you want to end up in Destination.

Tick your mode of travel and select a Shortcut name for your route.

Choose an icon like home, office, play (etc) for the home screen shortcut and Save.

By saving your route right on the home screen you can save a bit of time fumbling around on your scooter … not that I’d recommend using your device and scooting at the same time!
