Google Maps: Change icon for home & work
In Google Maps you can change the icons for "home" and for "work" and make them more beautiful. We will show you step by step how to replace the symbols.
Change icons in Google Maps
- To change the icon for "home" and "work", you have to go to Google Now on your Android smartphone.
- Under "Places" you have to enter an address for "Home" and for "Work".
- Then you will see two gray icons to the left of "Home" and "Work". You can exchange these for different symbols.
- To do this, tap on "Home" or "Work" and then on "Redesign home icon".
- Now a selection of different new icons appears. Tap the desired icon and then choose "Save". The new icon is then located at the specified address on Google Maps. Of course, it is only visible to you.
On the next page we show how you can use Google Maps offline and save so much data.
