Being a Local Guide means that I share my experiences with others so they can make informative decisions. My goal as a Local Guide is to help others, and I would like to help other Local Guides be more organized by showing how I organize my Google Maps Lists.
Google Maps List default is Favorite places (Heart), Want to go (Green Flag), and Starred places (Star). By only using those 3 markings/labels, it can make organization very difficult. To solve this problem, I created a lists system. Here is how it works:.
- Decided on a category. It can be general such as “Place to Eat” or more detailed such as “Places to Eat in City A.” It’s up to you.
- After you decide on a category for a list, then create 3 different lists with the category you selected. For this example, the category is "
Denver 
Food." Protip: Use emojis makes it easier to find your lists.
- Places I love (
Heart emoji). Name of list " Denver Food " - Places I want to go (
Recycle emoji).Name of list " Denver Food " - Places I have been toe (
Star emoji) Name of list "vDevnver Food "
- Places I love (
Now use this setup for every category you create. What’s great about this is you can hide lists from your map, so you don’t have a lot of labels on your map. And by using emojis, you can find your lists easily.
