How do I add my home to Nova?

Goal

Enter your home address so Nova opens the route home when you ask.

Before you start

• Expert view. The switch is in How do I switch between Simple and Expert?
• AI access is set up.

Steps

1. Settings, Profile & family, the Maps & home tab. The card is Routes.
2. Enter the address in the Home address field, with street, postcode, and town. Nova stores it on this Mac only.
3. Under Maps app, choose Apple Maps or Google Maps (browser).
4. Say “route home” at the avatar. Nova opens the maps app with your home address as the destination. Nova does not pass a starting point.
5. Without more, Nova plans by car. Say “by public transport” or “on foot” if you travel another way.
6. Other destinations work without a home address too, for example “How do I get to Bern station?”.
7. There is no card. Nova opens the route directly. With Google Maps (browser), the address is part of the page the browser loads from Google.

Example

“Route home.” — “How do I get home on foot?”

Common problems

• Without a home address, Nova says none is stored and opens nothing.
• Simple does not show the tab. Search finds it with home or home address under “In Expert view”.
• The home address is only for routes. Weather and the briefing do not use it.
