"Starring" a non-specific address in Google Maps

gnolan

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to "star" a location in google maps, either from a laptop or using the android app.

On the laptop the only way close that i can figure out is right-clicking and choosing "What's here?", clicking on the green arrow and highlighting the grayed out star. This, however, doesn't save the location for me, it seems to be only temporary.

Any ideas?

I've noticed the same thing lately. I tried to save a golf course yesterday but it never "stuck". Hopefully its just a temp bug as it's the only way I know of saving bookmarks.

Works fine for me when I tested it there.

In the maps app long press on the location. Press on the pop up address box, then press the star in the top right corner.

As I said, I tested it quickly there, the star may disappear later on though!

I still have this problem. If I try to star a place using Google Maps on my PC it isn't added to my bookmarks but if I do it using the Google Maps application on my Android phone it works instantly i.e. as soon as I star the location on my phone I go into my bookmarks on my PC and the newly starred location is there to be edited/named etc.

C'mon Google, get your finger out and fix this!!!

I didn't but I read in some of the Google support forums where people were having this issue and raising it with them as a bug.
