Hello everyone. I'm brand new here, so I hope this post is appropriate. I find the Lexus Nav system quite good at finding any address I enter into it. Even Garmin doesn't do as well. lol However I have a pet peave. Let's say I enter my brother's home address into the system, and save it as a favourite. Let's also say I enter several other favourite addresses as well. What I can't find, or maybe can't do is name each address. For instance if I've entered my brother's home address into the system, I can find no way to label it as, let's say, "Dave's Home Address". Is there a way to do that? Because if there isn't, all I'm left with is 50, 60 or a 100 addresses, but no way to know which address is which, if I come back to it several weeks, or months later. Am I missing something?

BTW, I am not using the app to enter addresses. I'm using the keyboard on the home screen in the car.
Thanks for reading.

I have the exact same question and hope there is an answer!

You MAY need to use the app...

I know that we couldn't save "HOME", except in the app.

I forgot I had asked and researched this before. The answer is with the current software version, it is impossible to add a name to an address. It is impossible in the Lexus app, and impossible using the in-care screen. Good luck memorizing all those addresses. I have the same situation and hope perhaps a future software version will address.

Is this what you're after?

1. Go to the Favourites list and select a saved location:



2. Tap the name/pencil icon in the pop-up on the right:



3. Add/edit name, then press OK on the keyboard:



4. Press the blue OK on the pop-up (not the back arrow):



5. Name should now be saved in the list and on the map:

My software doesn't behave the way you have indicated. If i go to favorites and click on an address, all it does is give map directions. There is no pencil icon. The only pencil icon that is available is when the list of addresses is up. Clicking on that brings me to a screen that only allows me to delete an address. I wish Lexus would fix this. It is such a fundamental part of a GPS system, i honestly dont understand how Lexus could not have namig addresses as a fundamental feature. Very poor planning in my opinion.

Thank you @LexusCapybara , that is exactly the way I would expect it to work. But like @AllanDL says, I do not see the same screen you posted. I get map directions only with no way to do any address or name editing. Not sure why this is happening, if it is a bug in my software, or different Lexus models, or what. A mystery.

It might be an Aussie only thing.

As always, good eye @Urlik . Canada and US weighed in on "doesn't work that way for me" so far...
