Favourite locations

[karussell]

An attempt to automatically save recent locations to avoid typing. Will be shown only if a location was successfully used in a route for more than once and only if 0 or 1 character is in the input box (to avoid mixing it with the geocoding results). Also this can be easily cleared.

Try it here.

the watch icon makes the box bigger. Possibly move it to the right of the headline? Usually, there is some space. Also, at least in the screenshot, the watch icon is darker than the other icons.

I tried the example and I only saw the recentLocation once. When tinkering with the text boxes and typing a little, no recent locations were shown. I guess some state is not working correctly yet?

I'm not entirely happy with the watch icon to be honest. It is a bit lonely there :)
Previously there was "Recent" text in a slightly different font than the rest which looked somehow better, but then we would need translations and so I thought an icon could be better but now ... I'm not sure.

With "move it to the right". You mean on the right side of every entry?

Not sure if there is a bug. The problem is probably also/more the "indirect addition logic". An entry only gets counted if you select it in a successful route, but it will show up only if it has a count > 1 and if the input has 0 or 1 character. For more characters it would be required to mix it with the geocoding results which felt somehow ugly/unintuitive.

Maybe we should add a star button (near the x to clear the input) to make addition explicit?

That could be good, but only if you remember that for the user. I wouldn't want to set a star and then the app forgets about it on the next reload. This would require storing this in the user's browser for the next session?

I find the 'recently' thing quite appealing. As this is something which might be helpful in a single session already. As a user I would be fine if the app only stores my recent items during one session, as we don't provide any login.
