luxpow Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Havent been able to figure out how to store the current location to favorites. Was camping someplace with no street address and could not save the location. The 'where am i' thing shows current location but no way to store it.

enigma-2 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I had to do this once. There may be an easier way, but none I could find in my 2009 navigation system. When in Map mode, you have six quick touch buttons. Choose "Save to Address Book: Press to save the current location to the address book." Once saved in the address book, you can then save to one of the six "favorites" destinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sync 3 seems to have missed implementing that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I know it's not what your looking for, I use an app called "My Lincoln Mobile". It can save the current location with a single click. Don't know if it can interact with your Sync3 (doesn't on Sync1) but it "may" be worth checkup it out.

Tjm623 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 For the edge the app is FordPass. I believe it is interactive through applink, but that would require knowing where your car is to use that portion . But same premise you can set a marker when you park that shows where it is once go away from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luxpow Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Found it finally. The key is : dont use the "where am i" thing. It just doesnt have what it should. The solution is : 1. Simply click on nav to see the map. The red arrow shows where you are. 2. Now touch the red arrow with a single finger (or a nearby spot). 3. At the right bottom on the screen, a green button named "start" will show up. 4. Press that green "start" button. 5. A dialogue box opens with options to either save that location or to start navigating to that spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogutierre Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I have been looking for an answer to this problem ever since I bought my Edge new in 2016 !!! Thanks for the post, your instructions worked perfect. There are so many features I am still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
