Navigation System

Can anyone give me instructions on how to add a recent destination to the contact list? I bring up the recent destination and select save to contacts but it doesn't get the message. Thanks

I believe there's a + button on the screen that will do it

The + button did not do it. Thanks

Nav system SUCKS!!!

GM definitely screwed the pooch on this option.

Haven't saved a destination lately, but if I remember correctly after you enter the destination address you get a screen that has several options, including Go and Save. Select Save and another screen comes up with options at the top. If you look down at the bottom there is another Save option. Ignore the options at the top and select the Save option at the bottom of the screen and your destination will be saved. I missed the option at the bottom of the screen the first few times I tried to save a destination, but once I saw it I've been able to successfully save every destination I wanted to.

No save appears at the bottom of my screen. I would be happy just to put my home address in the contact list.

OK, just went out to the car and entered and saved an address. Here are the steps:

1. Tap on the Destination icon and on the next screen tap on the address icon.
2. On the next screen enter the address. After an address has been entered the icon on the top left of the screen (next to the box that has the address) says GO. Tap on that icon.
3. The next screen shows the address and gives you three options at the bottom of the screen - Go, Call, and Save. Tap on the Save option.
4. The next screen gives you two options - Create a new contact or add to an existing contact. Tap on Create a new contact.
5. The next screen gives you three options - Save as Home Address, Save as Work Address, or Save as Other Address. Tap on whichever type of address you wish to save.
6. Next screen gives you the option of saving as First Name or Save as Last Name. Select one and tap on it.
7. On the next screen you will see a small red box at the bottom of the screen with a green arrow pointing down and the word Save under the box. Click on that box and the contact will be saved.

If you want to give the contact a name rather than just the address, select the Contacts icon on the Navigation screen, then select the address and on the next screen click on Edit. This will allow you to save it with a name rather than the address.

If you want pictures of the screens, let me know and I'll pm them to you.
