Save places and keep your own lists

Select Save on any place and Maps keeps it in Your places, a list kept in your own browser. Sort your places into lists, open them from directions, show them all on the map at once, or download them.

#Save a place

To remove a place, select Saved on its page again.

#Your places

Select Saved in the ribbon to see them all. The Maps home also shows your five most recent places under Your places.

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4
5. 5

• New places go into Starred places. Use the menu beside a place to move it to Favorites, Want to go, Home or Work.
• The trash button removes a place.
• Show all on the map puts every saved place on the map at once, so you can see how they spread out.
• Download (GeoJSON) saves the whole list as a file named my-places.geojson, which most mapping programs and GPS apps can open. Keep it as a backup, or open it in another mapping app.

#Use your places in directions

When you select an empty box in Directions, the suggestions list Your location and then your saved places. One tap makes a saved place the start or the destination.

#What else Maps remembers

With Saved preferences allowed, Maps also remembers, in this browser:

• Your recent searches: select the empty search box to see the last few, marked Recent search.
• Miles or kilometers: your choice in the Layers menu. Without Saved preferences, it lasts only until you close the tab.
