I am confused about how to track. I set a place from within my places which was at an office I work out of. I set it up at my home address. It reported after I set it up that it was 0 feet; at the time, I ignored that message. I then got on the bus and while on route, started tracking the office. I first heard the target address and it reported 1.7 miles. I assumed that was the distance to the tracking location. However, as we got closer to it, the distance went up. When I got off the bus, I heard the distance reported as close to three miles. When I got close to the location, it reported I was about five feet away, but this occurred on a previous trip before I had set a location to track. So my question is what does the distance represent? Is it the distance from my house where I set the location to the actual location? By the way, when I reached my home on the return trip, I heard my address announced, as well as the tracked location of 0 feet. I thought tracking a location meant the closer you got, the smaller the distance to the location? Please explain how this works. Thanks.
