Navigating from 'home' on Apple Maps

In Maps on MacOS Sequoia I've set my Home location and it shows up in the Library on the left. I can search for a location and press the blue Directions button to get directions to that place. But, the From part is blank and I see options to fill in places from the Recents but not the Library so I can't fill in my home location. If I type in "Home" I get a search of places called home, e.g. Home Depot and so on.


Am I missing something?

Here's what I see and do:


  1. In the 'Library' section on the left, a location is marked by a blue icon marked as 'Home' with my city name below.
  2. At upper right, I click on the 'Show directions' icon and a panel appears.
  3. If the cursor is not already blinking in the 'From' field, I click in that field to select it and the cursor blinks there.
  4. I click on the blue Home icon in the Library.
  5. A second panel pops up and I click on 'Plan Route from here'.
  6. 👉 My home address appears in the 'From' field of the 'Show directions' panel. 👈
  7. The cursor blinks in the 'To' field.


...Is that the same for you and what you want?
