They've always been this way. I think until recently Google Maps would refuse to save your home address unless you enabled location history, so you had to type it in every time.

I chose typing every time.

  • And I chose to set a browser bookmark with the corresponding GET parameters.

    • Bookmarks is a surprisingly underutilized feature of browsers, I constantly see tons of people doing 5-6 clicks going to some page, I'm guessing simply they don't know about it. Similarly, lots of powerusers who don't know about "javascript:" bookmarks that basically behaves like tiny like browser extensions (the content-script part specifically) when you click on them.

    • And you guys think that by typing or using bookmark with the same address didn't figure out it's your home address? :)
