S3 basic Nav - weird fault!

[batch]

Evening all!
Got a bizarre problem occurring with my Nav. I've so far saved my "home" in my favourite destinations at least a dozen times. It just doesn't seem to store the destination past a few days? Being a bit old-school, I think it's a problem with the live feed to the Nav? Anyone else had this or any ideas?

Yes, exactly the same thing.
I've given up re-inputting it now - just use the recent destinations.
I've put it down to being an Audi.

I tend not to use the Sat Nav feature too much - such a hassle.

Same here, it loses the home location. Also find it loses stored favourites for a few days and then hey presto they are back.

Must be an Audi thing, I have Tech Pack High with full nav and get the same issue. Only way I have discovered to make it more persistent is by adding the home address as a favourite from the recent destinations section.

I think it has to do with which mobile phone is connected. Yes I know there is no logic to such a system but I believe that the favourites are related to the phone that is connected to the MMI. If I save favourites when my phone is connected and then my wife uses the car (and her phone connects) then she can't see my favourites, and vice versa.

As above, nav favourites are associated with a phone.

It's in the FAQ:

Cheers @veeeight - explains it all! Bizarre behaviour/method but hey ho!
Actually having said that I can now see the point - car gets stolen, and without your phone the thieves can't find your h/a.
Nifty!

Good point! I guess in a way it's a security feature.

Separate point - one thing that annoys me is that it defaults to saving contacts as business contact. Doesn't make any difference except the colour coding but if you have a bit of OCD about getting things perfect, then it grinds.

Well that explains a lot. I noticed last night that my Home destination had been lost in the Nav but I've just realised I had a different iPhone connected to the MMI.
The regular iPhone is back in the car so I'll test it tonight.
