How do I create a smart collection based on "My Locations"?

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I've set up a smart location - let's call it "Home"

There are 200 photos that match that smart location taken at different times.

I am trying to create a smart collection that it linked to My Location "Home" and I can't figure it out.

I can figure out how to select all photos at that location and manually add "Home" to sublocation but I want it to be a smart collection that will automatically update as I import new photos that match the radius of My Location "Home"

There must be a way to do this.

Some one show me the way!

Thanks,

Anthony

Start a smart collection that looks for the Keyword "Home".  Then, during Import, add the keyword "Home"

I too do not see a way to do this.

It seems that if you want a "something" to update whenever new photos are imported into Lightroom and given the appropriate GPS coordinates within the desired geographic region, that "something" which updates is My Location.

Yes, this is a fine solution for "home".

However, if the original poster wants such a smart collection for photos that are within X miles of home, which My Location will do easily, I don't see how you get this in a smart collection, but using My Location works perfectly.
