Help using Google maps?

[Kenny202]

I can't seem to find a way to save favorites? From memory I used to click on a gold star to save. It doesn't appear anymore?

I have the free version. Do I need pay money for this?

Probably best in the Internet forum.

Seems the only precondition is, that you are logged on with your Google account.

I hate this new version, for me its a mess.

Was so much into the old version.

Use "here".

With the new Google Maps,

If a PC,

click mouse pointer to set location, and set the 'marker'

a 'flag' should appear offering you 'StreetView', 'Address', 'Lat/Lon', or 'Directions'

a. clicking on 'Address' LINK will select the closest general location (but may be 'the city')

b. clicking on 'Lat/Lon' LINK will record the precise location but the label remains it's Lat/Lon address

Once you've clicked a LINK, the option to 'star' (save) the location will be presented.

These marker entries can then be found by selecting the Maps ≡ (menu) item and selecting "My Maps"

If on an Android Phone,

press and hold a position on the map to set a 'drop marker'

tap the center mark of the drop marker

the option to 'star' (save) the location will be presented

to add a label you will need to enable Web and App Activity in Activity Controls on your google account
