New Google Maps feature saves your addresses

by XXNatalie Mayslich on Aug 8, 2006 at 09:56 PM

Google Maps save locations

A popular request - the ability to store personal addresses on Google Maps, has just been honored. To use the feature simply go into Google Map’s “Saved Locations” folder and edit away e.g. change the name of 1530 West 10 street to “home” and 95 Fifth Ave to “work”. The best part? Auto-completion!

Want to find a pizza shop near work? No problem, type: pizza near work and Google will automatically interpret it as 95 Fifth Ave. Pretty neat, no?
