    Default Google Maps for ios. Organizing saved locations

    Does anyone know of a way to "rename" saved addresses in the Google Maps ios app? Just saving an address is not nearly as convenient as renaming it to whatever you want. That's one great feature Apple Maps has over Google Maps. You can rename destinations, "drop pin" and rename it whatever you want etc...

    Can only be done using the browser.

    To rename an address, navigate on your browser to . Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be able to see all the locations you’ve saved through the Google Maps app.

    I have done that. Also created a "work" map with all the locations I make deliveries too but, I don't find a way to access them in the Google Maps app.

    To view your Recently Saved and Shared places:

    Make sure you are signed into Google Maps for iOS.
    Tap the My profile button.
    See a list of your saved and shared places in the “Recently Saved and Shared” section.
    Select a location in this list to see it on the map.

    On a web browser, you have to enable the collection of your search history... go to your Google account Dashboard, and go to the Web History and turn it on.

    I'm aware of how to view recently searched and saved locations within the app but, they don't appear as I've renamed them via my pc browser. Nor can I view the "My Maps" I have created within a pc browser. And yes "web history" is on...
