My Places

My Places can be best described as the place where all of the saved destinations and routes are 
stored.  There are four separate sections to My Places, each one with its own distinct purpose.

Address Book

The Address Book stores contacts, places and trips that you 
have saved.  These can be used as destinations in a route or 
accessed using Bluetooth to place a call.

Wish List

The Wish List  are those places you saw on a Yelp or 
Foursquare square that you found interesting and thought 
that you might want to go to at some point.

Recent

Anytime you create a route, the destination is save into your 
Recent places list.  Handy for when you want to create a route 
to some place you recently went to.

OneTouch

OneTouch is a customizable menu that can hold searches and 
destinations that you regularly use.  For example, you could 
save a search for coffee houses that you could access with 
one touch of the menu. 

Address Book

The Address Book can be further broken down into three distinct categories; places, contacts and 
trips.  These are all user-entered and can easily be accessed at any time to create a route or even to 
place a call.

Places

Places is designed to hold locations that you commonly go to 
or need to reference while driving.  This could be anything 
from your local Starbucks to a historical landmark.  Think of 
places as your own personalized POIs (points of interest).

Contacts

Contacts are people that you might want to use as a 
destination, get in touch with or just have their information 
available to you while you are on the road.  You might have 
a relative that you want to visit when your travels take you to 
their home town.  With contacts, their address and a route to 
their home is at your fingertips. 
A single contact can have multiple entries for that contact, 
allowing you to put in their home as well as their work or 
other places associated with the contact.
