How do I save my home, office and client places?
What a named place does
A named place is your name for an address you drive to often: home, the office, a client. Drives that start or end there show the name instead of the street address, and naming a place renames the drives already recorded there too. The kind matters: Home and Work are what the commute suggestions and the business suggestions go by. Reports still print each drive’s address.
Add a place
- In OdoTax, open Settings → Named places
- Tap Add place
- Pick a Kind — Home, Work, Frequent or Other — and type a Name
- Start typing the Address and pick it from the suggestions. The pin drops on the map; drag it to fine-tune the spot
- Tap Add place
Whatever the kind, pick the address from the suggestions or set the spot on the map: a place names drives only when it has a point on the map, and a typed address alone gives it none. Home, Work and Frequent places can’t be saved without that point. No street address, like a job site? Tap My location doesn’t have an address — pick on map, move the map under the pin and tap Use this position.

Add a placeName it from a drive
- Open the drive
- Tap its start or its end: Name this place opens with the address already set
- Type a name and tap Save name
A place named here is saved with the kind Other, so it can’t be called Home or Work: those names belong to places of those kinds. Add your home and your workplace in Settings → Named places, with the kind Home or Work. A place named here can get one of those kinds there too: tap it, pick the kind and tap Save. An end that already has a name opens that place, to rename it.
