Unexpected item in the 'To' field

Hi,

I've recently noticed that whenever I open the map, "Swan Road, Lichfield" appears in the 'To' field, although the 'From' field stays blank. I've shown an example below.

If I then adjust the route, eg. move via point 1, the route end goes off to Lichfield.

I don't think this is due to any saved location on my PC. I do not recognise the location, and it happens even if I logout and clear cookies.

FabFive, your photos aren't showing.

This is the website and not the app?

Perhaps you could check under your "Profile" to see if you have set a "home" address?

Failing that, the crossed circle should reset the map. (Below the + - symbols.

It's not clear if Swan Road, Lichfield holds any significance for you? If not, it seems like the Cycling Gods really, really want you to visit! :-)

Thanks for your quick response. Sorry about me being slow to reply but I've been away.

Yes, I'd noticed the photos hadn't showed, but I can't work out why.

It was on the website.

I had previously set my home address (which isn't in Lichfield), and I've just set it again. I wished I'd checked before doing that(!), but the problem isn't happening now, so that is good.

But I don't understand why moving a via point would make the end point jump to my home anyway?

I'll report again if it comes back, but thanks again for your help.

No problem. 

If there is no connection to your home location then it seems something else was in play. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain more.
