Saving Time with Bookmarks, Recents, and
Contacts
In Maps, three tools can save you from typing the same locations repeatedly. You see these options
on the overlay displayed when you tap the word Bookmarks near the upper-left corner of the screen.
At the bottom of this overlay, you see three buttons: Bookmarks, Recents, and Contacts. The follow-
ing sections give you the lowdown on these buttons.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks in the Maps application work like bookmarks in Safari. When you have a loca-
tion you want to save as a bookmark so that you can reuse it later without typing a single character,
follow these steps:
1.
Tap the little
i
in a blue circle to the right of the location's name or description.
The Info screen for that location appears. (Refer to Figure
6-3
.)
2.
Tap the Add to Bookmarks button.
You may have to scroll down the Info screen to see the Add to Bookmarks button.
After you add a bookmark, you can recall it at any time. To do so, tap the Bookmarks icon, tap the
Bookmarks button at the bottom of the overlay, and then tap the bookmark name to see it on a map.
