Favorite places and Cortana
When you add favorite places to Cortana, and you add traffic as one of your interests, Cortana can let you know when you should leave to make sure you get there on time. Cortana can also get a sense of where your home or work might be, although she'll be sure to ask you before adding them to your favorites.
Tip
You can also add your favorite places to Maps, and those places will
sync between your Maps and Cortana experiences when you're signed in with your
Microsoft account. Go to Maps and tap More
> Favorite places.
