This is useful for a number of reasons. If there’s a restaurant you’re ordering from but know you’ll never remember its name, just rename it to “Incredible Restaurant.” That’s a search term I’d remember more frequently than “Taverna Kyclades.”
You can also drop a pin in a location without a set name on Google Maps and give it a custom name. If your friend John’s apartment doesn’t show up on Google Maps, drop a pin and name it “John’s Apartment.”
Here are the steps to give a place a private name,courtesy of Google:
- Open the Google Maps appmaps
- Search for an address. Or drop a pin by touching and holding a place on the map.
- From the bottom, touch the place’s name or address.
- From the top right, touch the menuthree vertical dots
Pretty simple, right? Google Operating System also notes that Google has recently implemented a feature for its web and Android app called the “Timeline,” which shows you everywhere you’ve been in the past day, month or year (providing you’ve turned “Location History” on).
