I'd love to hear feedback of people currently working with the MyMaps service and see what you'd like to see improved.<br />I'm a big fan of Google MyMaps, but there's a lot of things that could be done better I believe.<br /><br />I have a very simple prototype, everything is built on top of google maps, it's simply creating a new and simpler UI.<br /><br />Contact me if you're interested in helping out or just discussing a bit!

Two simple examples:<br />- you cannot 'name' a place when you save it <br />- you cannot link to a 'saved place' from Google Calender : ie if search does not find the address on a Calender entry, you are stuck, even if you save the place under your addresses! It should be SO simple to allow you to save a link to a map place in your Google Contacts and Calender!<br /><br />Some simple integration between the Google products would make all the difference...The Wondererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331446169000808927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-19420743077902189922011-07-21T03:33:44.991-07:002011-07-21T03:33:44.991-07:00I cant save a place to my map.

This would be fine, except when in Walking mode it won't allow me to save the map.<br /><br />This "update" has changed Google Maps from an extremely useful tool to a complete waste of time.<br /><br />Guess I'll have to buy Garmin mapping software.<br /><br />Bad marketing move Google.

In the past, I'd simply add the address and save it to the map and it would appear as an icon on the map AND in the list on the left-hand side. It seems that it no longer appears on the left-hand side menu.
