Starting today, users can create, share, and follow lists of places with the Google Maps app for iOS and Android.
Simply open the Google Maps app and find a place. Tap on the place name and then the “Save” icon to add the place to one of several pre-set lists like “Want to Go” or “Favorites.” You can also add the place to a new list that you name yourself. To recall the lists you’ve created, go to Your Places (in the side menu) and then open the saved tab. Icons for the places you’ve saved to lists will appear on the map itself.
You can share lists via text, email, social networks and popular messaging apps. Once you send a link, the recipient can tap “Follow” to pull up the list from Your Places whenever they need it.
The lists you create are viewable on mobile and desktop and are available offline. You can download Google Maps from the App Store for free.
