I know this is an easy problem, but I'm just not figuring it out.

I look up the location of a place, and try to get directions there. My
phone can figure out where it is, but I can't seem to get the address into
the "starting" slot for directions.

What am I missing? How do I get my current location into the directions?

Just type "current location" into the field. Actually, all you would need
is to type "c", and then tap "current location" from the list below the
entry fields.

I was right--it WAS easy. Just not intuitive.

Thanks

When I use the built-in Maps app, do a search for something, then select
"directions", "current location" is already entered in the start location
box.
