If you're out and about or away and someone steals your car and sees your address they will know your not there (because you were where your car was) and potentially break into your house as well.
Strange logic. You may not be there, but that doesn’t mean nobody’s there.
Yes I thought that plus they’ll break in whether you’re home or not as little chance of getting caught and no punishment if they do

Whenever I've set this up (on various cars), I go to somewhere like my local Supermarket Carpark .. I know my way home from there .. that way I can still benefit from Live Traffic Updates etc

Or of course if you don't get on with one of your neighbours set it to their address 😉.

Have to say, when my car is parked on my drive, the 'pointer on my Sat-Nav is showing the position to be a couple of doors up the road.
Must be the Welsh street names on my estate .. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That could be worse as may be an adult son or daughter or elderly parent. I do the same and don't put my home address into any sat nav, why do you need to, I just use the centre of the nearby town. If you live out in the sticks you could use something nearby, a pub maybe but not a private house!

Or you could put your home address in and call it something else.

Sorry for bumping this to ask a stupid question, but how do you change the Home address in the Sensus system?

I've searched the manual but can't find the details, just lots of stuff about the home screen. :roll:

If I remember right - was a while ago when I needed to change it, I deleted the home address that was there and then entered and saved a new one. I seem to remember looking for ages on how to alter it, but couldn’t do it…

On mine it's the first entry in Favourites, and if I tap it there's an Edit button at the bottom 🤔

Thanks.

It was indeed on the favourite destinations page. And yes, after tapping the button to change the home location it just displayed a map with no apparent way to change the location, so I went back and cleared it and entered the new one.
