Apple Maps calls collections guides. To make one on an iPhone, open Maps, tap Your Guides, and use the add-to-list control to create and name a guide. You can add places from their place cards, then share or edit the guide from the same list.

How do I create a collection in Apple Maps?

  1. Open Maps and tap Your Guides.

  2. Tap the add-to-list control.

  3. Enter a name for the guide. Adding a cover image from your photo library is optional.

  4. Tap Done.

The guide will appear in Your Guides. Apple also provides a Favorites guide, which always appears in your guides. Apple’s guide to saving places in Maps explains how guides and saved places fit into the app.

    • Vibrant 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with OLED technology. Action mode for smooth, steady, handheld videos.
  2. On the place card, tap More, then Add to Guides.

  3. Choose the guide you want and tap Done.

Maps also lets you pin a place separately. A pin is useful when you want a saved place to appear in Places as Maps opens; it is not the same as adding that place to an organized guide.

How do I share or edit a Maps collection?

Share a guide

  1. In Maps, open Your Guides.

  2. Select the guide you want to share and tap Share.

  3. Choose one of the sharing options shown.

Edit or delete a guide

  1. Open the guide from Your Guides and tap Edit.

  2. Change its title or cover image, or remove places, then finish editing.

Custom guides and publisher guides: what’s the difference?

Guide type Who organizes it How places get into it Best for
Custom guide You You add places from map or search result cards. Keeping your own picks together, such as places for a trip or a list of restaurants to try.
Publisher guide A publisher curates the recommendations. You browse available guides and can save one to your own guides. Keeping curated recommendations handy without building the list place by place.

Apple says you can browse publisher guides by city, interest, or publisher. Its current discovery instructions also describe searching for “Local Lists” and choosing Guides in select U.S. cities; availability is location-dependent, so this is not a universal step for finding recommendations. See Apple’s guide to exploring places in Maps for that discovery feature.

Where did my saved places go?

Maps groups saved places, guides, pins, and routes under Places. Open Places to find and manage them. A place saved in a guide is organized with that guide, while a pin is a separate way to surface a place when Maps opens.

You can add a personal note to a saved place. Apple says the note is visible only to you in Maps. If you share the place, the note appears as text with the shared link, but it is not added to the recipient’s saved notes. Removing the saved place also removes its personal notes. Details are in Apple’s instructions for saving places in Maps.
