Google Maps is easy to use but has so many features one might not have noticed the option to save your favorite places to custom lists.

Of course, it's easy not to notice this feature because autocomplete can show a list of locations you typed in recently. However, the option to save lists for favorites, places you want to see, and more can be a handy, personal collection of bookmarks for you.

Mobile and Desktop are slightly different but easy to use.
