Colored icons for different Saved Lists

Currently all the different saved lists have the same blue color icon which makes it very hard to see which is which on the Map unless I turn on only 1 list at a time. Please add in the capability to change the icon color for each list separately.

This would be very handy for every intensive maps user. I have used the labels in the past but unfortunatley then I dont see the original name. A coulour for every list category would probably the best option!

It seems like Google loves blue icons. Google's icons for Calendar Clock Contacts Docs Duo Earth GBoard GMB Translate Inbox Messages Now PhotoScan Tasks Wallpapers all look the same at a glance 🙂

Order list will be good to, now I have many lists when I want update some list, it is not easy to found the list

Level 5

At this time, new lists created in Google Maps default to a light blue circle with a white square in it.

It would be nice if we could change the color or inner shape of a list. For example: a "Friends & Family" list can be blue square and a "Fun Activities" list can be red triangle. It would make it much easier to tell which is which from zoomed out view without clicking around.

I agree with you 101% 👍. The Google maps need more colours and shapesto differentiate the categories.

THERE SHOULD BE CUSTOMIZED LOGOS FOR SAVED PLACES ON GOOGLE MAP.

Hi @NAEEM_GEO,

 

Thanks for reaching us.

 

From what I understood, you would prefer to have the lists of your saved place, to have a customizable logo, correct?

 

Please do not hesitate to share a bit more on the idea. If possible, you may also add a screenshot on the step that you think the additional feature should be.

Buenos días! 

Estaria muy bien que pudieramos guardar los sitios con un icono diferente para cada categoría, ya que en la misma lista puede haber bares, restaurantes, hoteles... o poder aplicarle un color distintivo ya que aparecen todos iguales y en ocasiones se confunden con otros que no están guardados en la lista, como podeis ver en la foto.
