Keep in mind that you can only do that with a location and not a set of directions. You have to use the "share" button shown above, and the "share" button that you get elsewhere (such as when you're already looking at a route) won't show your car as a destination. This tripped me up a few times.

You don't even have to touch it with your skin. If your hands are full, just back your butt into any of the door handles and the doors will lock. It works through your clothes.

every time I wash the car, the water pressure locks and unlocks the car constantly. It’s pretty annoying.

Yes, that is annoying. Putting the key inside the car while washing will stop it.

I also put my keys in the car while washing. I also have a small Faraday bag that I've used for this purpose as well. A metal box (e.g. Altoids) works as well.

I place my key next to the tap which is close enough to lock/unlock with a push of the button if required but won't allow touching the vehicle to lock/unlock. Also handy to ensure I have turned off the tap correctly after washing before locking up and coming inside.
