Places and Routes
The section Places and Routes in My Maps allows the logged-in user to mark custom POIs (points of interest) on the map. You can save here your favorite places or planned routes that you don't want to forget or which you simply do not want to search for again.
You can add a place to your favorites by clicking the Save button, displayed in the right sidebar under the name of the location or its address.
Logged-in users can view the contents of their saved locations and routes in the right sidebar by clicking My Maps > Places and Routes. By clicking the three dots icon, displayed on the right side of the saved entry, the option menu will open providing actions that can be done with the saved entry.
You can perform multiple actions on your saved entries, including sorting them into folders. To perform this action, select the option Multiple Actions from the menu and select the desired saved entries. They can be either added to a folder or deleted.
Home and Work address
In the section Places and Routes there are already two pre-set entries at the top of the right sidebar: Home and Work. These two points will always be displayed at the top of the right sidebar, in the section Places and Routes, and will be offered as pre-set entries even when searching for a point, e.g. when planning.You can add a location to these two entries either by entering the address manually or by clicking on the map. Once entered, the location can be changed via the "Edit" button.
Planned routes, circuits, custom points and measurements can also be added to Favorites. All elements saved to Favorites in My Maps are also automatically synced with the mobile app, when logged in with the same user account.
Folder
Folders can be used to organize saved points, routes or measurements. A folder can be created in the section Places and Routes or directly on the map, when planning a route, measuring distance or in a point detail. Folders with their entries are accompanied by a number of features that they improve.
Folder functions
Export from the folder
The function Export allows you to export routes, saved in one folder, to GPX and KML formats. With this type of export function you cannot export custom points, imported routes, manual measurement and activities.
