How to Save Favorite Places in a Map App

Tap each step to follow along in order.

  1. Search for the place you want to save

    Search for the place you'd like to bookmark in your map app.

  2. Tap 'Save'

    On the place's info screen, tap 'Save' or the star icon to add it to your favorites.

  3. Organize places into lists

    Creating lists like 'Want to visit' or 'Favorite restaurants' makes it much easier to find a place again later.

  4. Set your home and work addresses

    Registering your home and work addresses ahead of time lets you start navigation much faster.

  5. Share your list

    You can share a saved list of places with friends or family via a link, which is handy for planning a trip together.

Skip the search and go straight there

Saving places you visit often means you can pick them straight from a list and start navigation instead of typing the name every time -- a small habit that saves real time.

Planning a trip that needs public transit?

Once your favorites are saved, checking the transit or walking route options in the same app makes the rest of your trip planning just as easy.
