Hear, hear. The "saving" feature is retarded. I have three basic pins (I think) Stars, Labels, and what looks like a "Stop (play)" type shape. Floating the mouse over them doesn't tell me what those icons mean. The Saving process fails to really allow me to choose which one of these to save as - instead I can "add" a label after having saved a place ... ? Why can't I just edit a saved place and give it a name? Instead I get to see a list of coordinates.
I'm currently surrounded by bushfires and instead of being able to create a useful list of locations, road name-intersections, fire fronts etc I'm faced with needing a course in how to create such.
My Maps (or whatever the older version some decade back was called) was USEFUL!
