Let me give you a scenario to help it make sense. I'm looking to move to a different town, so I am looking at potential employers offices, apartment listings, and general attractions. I want to be able to drop a pin for each of them so i can visually tell 'oh ok this job would be close if I lived at X' - something like that.<br />The tip you mentioned above does work pretty well but when you 'create a map' the functionality is lost. places starred/saved into that file do not ever get updated with the bookmark names.'<br /><br />Im not a computer scientist, but it seems like all the major pieces to this puzzles are there and google is just FAILing to put them together :(<br />i guess they're too busy eating free snacks, getting massages, and spending their 20% time on other things to actually make Google Maps work like you might reasonably expect it should in 2013.<br />and don't say, 'but don't complain, it's free'. yeah ok google mined the crap out of me and makes plenty. I've paid my dues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715821788984862061.post-31232278182988285272013-01-18T17:38:57.885+05:302013-01-18T17:38:57.885+05:30I knew that they have stopped allowing us to searc...I knew that they have stopped allowing us to search for a named place long ago, but I did not know you cannot even show the names at all now. That is unfortunate indeed. I continue to use the functional release that they came up with last - which is v 6.8.0. Next version onwards they screwed this feature up. Granted this is not a sustainable solution - but hey it works - and I will continue using this as long it works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715821788984862061.post-76296394547533869872013-01-18T13:21:49.295+05:302013-01-18T13:21:49.295+05:30Unfortunately, the latest version of Google Maps o...Unfortunately, the latest version of Google Maps on Android no longer shows those user-defined names. =(vicotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302390707939287004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715821788984862061.post-25987161946635909392013-01-09T17:59:33.530+05:302013-01-09T17:59:33.530+05:30Fantastic!!!

It's really useful to be able to name your starred location, particularly when you're in a place which doesn't have street names, but where you use landmarks instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327624848968404009noreply@blogger.com
