Go beyond stars when saving your places — soon you’ll be able to organize your places into special lists such as Favorites and Want to Go, or save custom lists all on your own, like:

  • Best burgers in Manhattan
  • July 2017 trip to Mexico City
  • Places to take mom and dad when they visit

We’re rolling out lists to Level 4+ Local Guides on Google Maps for Android over the next week — months before we launch to the public. If you're a Level 4 Local Guide, give it a try, and don't forget to shake to give feedback. You'll need to have the latest version of Google Maps for Android installed. 

 

See how lists work in this video:
