Save favorite places

Important: We’re currently updating settings for Google Search services, which include Search, Maps, Shopping, Flights, Hotels, Translate, and News. These are rolling out gradually over the next few months. If the settings in this article do not match what you see, history and personalized recommendations for Search services are still controlled by Web & App Activity.

You can add your favorite places to a list to find them easily later. Saving a place is different from downloading an offline area or adding a place. Learn how to download an offline area or add a place to Google Maps.
