Mekong Bob Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 How can I add my home to the Grab map? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narkeddiver Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 This doesn’t directly answer your question but I find it easier to request Grab cars from within Google maps as the map is far easy to use there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonwilly Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I use Grab often. It frequently refuses to recognize my Home Starting point, moving my location by several hundred meters. I have no Idea why. I now start by identifying my trip on Google maps and find sometimes this does transfere to Grab. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevoromgh Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I read somewhere that Grab uses the maps provided by Google and so in theory if you go to Google Maps (on a PC) and right-click on the position where your house is and use the 'Add a missing place' command, give it meaningful unique name after it has been approved (normally a few hours) it will appear and be searchable thereafter. The next question is how often does Grab update its maps from the Google master because I added my housing project months ago and it still has not appeared on Grab yet.

I use google maps on my iPhone so the following steps may be different for you if you are using an android phone or a computer I will assume that you have added a ‘Home’ location to google maps - if not let me know and I’ll add some instructions for that When you’re looking to get a Grab car to return home 1) Open google maps 2) Search for ‘Home’ 3) Click on ‘Directions’ 4) On my iPhone I then have 4 icons to choose from: a car, a train (for public transport), a walking man, and a man with a suitcase hailing a cab. Click on the guy with the suitcase and it will give you options for Grab hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narkeddiver Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Must admit I much prefer Uber (RIP) to Grab Uber was more reasonably priced and reliable With Uber you could schedule a pick-up at a certain time and the dozen or so times I used this they turned up on time With Grab I’ve tried to use it once and then I got a phone call from Grab an hour later cancelling the pick-up because it was “inconvenient” for the driver who had accepted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybilly Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So, excuse the ignorance I'm currently not in Thailand, I presume Uber is now deceased??Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Uber now deceased in Thailand, taken over by Grab. Last night my trip downtown was basically correct apart from, 2 mins going to 3 mins to 7 mins before decreasing and arrival. Return I was stood out side my start point saw Grab car coming on my iPhone. He then went pass, vanished from phone and called asking where I was. I informed him and he said he was doing a 180 and returned to me say 5 mins later. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
