     It is the *intended* destination, but as 'Wally J'/'Arlen Holder'   
   hadn't set an *origin*, the address was just that, an address.   
      
     I.e. without an origin or a destination, there is no route, so no "Add   
   Home screen" function.   
      
     You found the same in your experiments: As soon as both the start   
   location and the destination had been set, the three-vertical-dots icon   
   appears and you can select ""Add route to Home screen" from that menu.
