I haven't enabled DuckDuckGo to use my location, so when I go to directions, it assumes my location is in a city near me, which I assume is based on my IP address. What's the benefit of doing this, rather than just leaving it blank? PS: Product looks really good. Really quick on Firefox, without any dumb animations like Google Maps that make it seem so much slower.
