>Users can enter the destination before being picked up.

Interesting! Is this just to get a fare estimate? I don't think I ever noticed this feature in the app back when I used it.

It lets you get a fare estimate and it lets you avoid having to spell out the destination address to the driver, so it's easier on both of you.

This is especially true when the address contains difficult or uncommon words like Sycamore or Cheswycke, which I'm pretty sure I'd screw up writing, and I'd guess that others would as well.

Thanks for the explanation. I had never seen/used this feature.
