Android: Rename favorites in Google Maps
In Google Maps you can save interesting places as favorites on your Android smartphone. We will explain how to rename them later here.
Google Maps: Rename favorites via the browser
Unfortunately, you cannot rename locations saved as favorites directly using the Maps app from Android. This only works via a website in your browser - either on the PC or on your smartphone or tablet:
- Open your browser and go to www.google.com/bookmarks/.
- Click "Edit" to the right of the favorite you want to rename.
- Enter the desired name for the favorite in the "Name" field. Then click on "Save".
Note that it may take a few seconds for the change to sync with Google Maps. This practical tip shows you how to use the map service offline on your smartphone.
