   I see now that you need a completed route and not just a one-ended address.   
      
   Since I tend to operate with all the permissions turned off, I found you   
   can keep the GPS + Wi-Fi scanning + Precise location switches off and still   
   be able to "Add route to Home screen" if you arbitrarily choose a location   
   on the Google map for the starting point after you type in the destination.   
      
   In that situation of choosing the starting point for the route on the map,   
   you don't get a blue "Start" button but a blue "Preview" button instead.   
      
   With either the "Start" or "Preview" button you get the three dots that   
   leads to the "Add route to Home screen" menu you & Char Jackson spoke of.   
      
   I just added my dentist where I did an images.google.com to get icons for   
   dentistry so that I don't have to read the wording below the route icon.   
      
   Do you think these home screen shortcuts can be copied to my wife's phone?
