    Press down on "Maps", and it will open up the Google Maps application
    .
    We want to add our home and work addresses to the application. Since these two locations are very important for us, and we probably spend quite a bit of time at each one, it may be quite common for us to need directions to and from one of these addresses to other locations. Adding our work and home addresses to Google Maps helps us to access those locations very quickly.
