How to create and share your Google Maps place lists
Google Maps allows us to create lists of places with our favorite places or those places that we want to visit on our next trip. But not only that, we can also add our own comments and share our place lists with everyone.
Below we explain how you can easily create and share your place lists through the official Google Maps application for Android.
Create a list of places
When we consult the file of a place we can save it in a list by clicking on Save and selecting the list in which we want to save said place. By default Google Maps has the lists of Favorites, I want to go and Featured sites, each with its own identifier icon that we will see on the map.
If we do not like these predefined lists we can create a new list in the New list option and add the name that we want. The site will be added to that newly created list.
To see all our lists we have to open the side menu of the application and access Your sites> Saved. In that tab will be all our lists.
Edit our lists
In the Saved tab we can edit our lists to add a description and also add more sites from there. We can also delete the lists that we no longer want to have.
Add Comments
By editing our list we can also add tips and comments for each place. We just have to click in the text field “Say something about this site” of each place to write information that may be useful.
The privacy of our lists
Finally, we have the possibility of Sharing our lists with our contacts through any of the messaging or communication applications installed on our device. Also by pressing Menu> Sharing options we can make the public list public so that anyone can see it when doing a Google search or visiting our public Google Maps profile.
How to add tips and comments to your Google Maps lists
Since the beginning of the year we can create and share lists of places through Google Maps , to be able to recommend to our friends or to any user who accesses our list the best sites or places that they have to visit.
Now now the lists were limited to showing a list with places, there was no way to complement the information with advice and comments until now …
Adding tips and comments
The latest beta version of Google Maps already allows us to edit our place lists to add tips and comments to each of our recommended places.
To do this we just have to go to Your Sites> Saved, select a list and tap on the pencil icon to edit the list. There we will see that in addition to the title and the description of the list we can add a comment for each saved place. After saving the changes, we will see when we open the list again that will appear those tips and comments that later are very useful for those who receive our list.
