If you search for an address from the Enform app on your phone, you can save the address and send it to your car. Whereas before it would be in the eDestination folder, it will now be in the Saved Destination folder. However, addresses sent from lexusdrivers.com will still be saved in the eDestination folder.

How do I add a saved address into the enform app on my phone? I can go to the "saved destinations", but there's no saved destinations currently and I can't find any buttons or features to add any.

You go into The Enform app on the phone, and open Bing. Put the address in Bing. Then click on the address and click "Save".

I had no idea. That's about the dumbest interface I could have imagined. If I already know the exact address, why would I use bing to search for it?

Anyways, thanks for letting me know how it works.

That's not the way to use Bing. If you search for a restaurant, venue, or location by name in Bing, you can save the search results to saved destination. If you know the exact address, enter it in the car. I use Lexus drivers dot com edesitnation to input addresses I may already know.

True, however I find it easier to just put the address in Bing in my phone than I do to input it directly into the car. Actually, I usually just use lexusdrivers for addresses.

I agree I would have never thought to use Bing to Save and Address. I was looking for e-destinations from my web and trying to save that.

Anyway, its still a welcome feature since I can look up the address on my cell phone and save before I get to my car. Thank you

There's a bug with this feature: if you bring up an address in the car that you entered into the app, the GPS always provides the minutes to arrival instead of showing the time you'll arrive. Not a problem if you normally show minutes to arrival, but very annoying for me, since I prefer to see the estimated arrival time.

A small price to pay for me not to have to use my computer and to enter this on the app on my phone instead .

You can also go online using your computer to enter an address and have it downloaded to your car. It's a little strange on how you get to the folders of addresses you create however. There is only a cole of places in the navigation to access what you have saved online.

Should your Enform saved destinations remain in the iPhone saved destinations app until deleted?
Mine disappeared.

I'm not sure how it *should* work, but can confirm that my destinations also disappear from my phone after they sync (move?) to the car.
