During my rides, I sometimes want to save my current location for later processing. It can be a lousy road I want to avoid in the future, or the opposite.
The easiest way to do this during driving, is to add it as a favorite. It works, but requires some tapping.
It would be nice, if the settings had the option to enable a shortcut button on the default map screen. A single click on this button should save the current location with a default name, no questions asked
The name of the saved location is not that important, it could be in date-time-road_name format.

Thank you for the tip!
A picture sure makes it easy to remember that location. I will use that approach for now.The drawback to your way is that I have to stop for this to happen. On some roads doable, on other roads not. So a button still makes sense.

I use a nice iPhone function for this.
Shortcuts!
However, this requires a headset. With the headset, I call Siri and say save location, I can also speak a text to explain it, such as beautiful church. And the shortcut saves this together with the geocoordinates under notes. This can be done during the ride.

Really nice idea. The only missing thing:
Would’ve nice to have the location saved as POI or favourite in MRAJust joking: Really a nice idea to capture locations I want to remember or put into my library of nice places.

I hope this is on the list for future implementation.
