How To Use And Create Apple Maps Guides

You can access premade guides in Apple Maps with lists of interesting places near a city. You can also build your own lists and share them with people, even if they aren't using Apple products.

    Any idea as to when Apple will be adding cities?

    Gene: Your guess is as good as mine.

    Once I "drop a pin," I can never delete the dropped pin; I can only delete its entry in "My Places" but the pin itself remains on the map. Any way to remove an accidentally dropped pin in Maps app on Big Sur? ....couldn't find the answer on this in your BigSur course, nor by searching for it online(!). Thanks.

    Ron: Control+click on the pin and select Remove Marker.

    Thanks, but control+click on the pin renders "Share" and "Send to Device" (each with sub-menus) -- but no pathway to "Remove Marker" or to delete; I've tried every conceivable combination of combination keys and clicks, but "Remove Marker" nowhere appears as an option. Maybe there's a work-around?? darn..... But thanks for replying...

    Ron: What color is the pin? Is the search field at the top left empty? Are you sure this is a dropped pin and not an existing place? Are you using Big Sur?

    I created a guide for Pizza Places in my city. Once I added 30 places, the guide disappeared from the list of choices when I click on Save to Guide. Is 30 the limit?

    Rick: I don't know of any limit. Why not try creating a new guide and quickly adding 30 places to it. Then 40. Test and see. That's all I would do.

    My bad... :-( I must have been trying to add a place to my Pizza guide twice.
