The first things you should bookmark are your home and work addresses and your zip
codes. These are things you use all the time with Maps, so you might as well bookmark them
now to avoid typing them over and over.
Use zip code bookmarks to find nearby businesses. Choose the zip code bookmark,
and then type what you're looking for, such as 78729 pizza, 60645 gas station, or 90201 Star-
bucks.
You can also drop a pin anywhere on the map. A pin is similar to a bookmark but is often handier
than a bookmark because you can drop it by hand. Why? If you don't know the exact address or zip
code for a location but can point it out on a map, you can drop a pin (but you couldn't create a book-
mark). You drop a pin as follows:
1. Tap the little i -in-a-circle in the lower-right corner.
2. Tap the Drop a Pin button. (Refer to Figure 6-4 . )
A pin drops onscreen, and you see the words Dropped Pin with a little i in a blue circle on the
right.
3. Tap and hold on the location you want to mark with a pin.
4. Tap the little i.
The Dropped Pin overlay appears. You can fill in some details about the pin and take similar
actions to those that appear in the Info screen. (Refer back to Figure 6-3 . )
To manage your bookmarks, tap the Edit button in the upper-left corner of the Bookmarks overlay.
Then:
To move a bookmark up or down in the Bookmarks list: Drag the little icon with three
gray bars that appears to the right of the bookmark upward to move the bookmark higher in
the list or downward to move the bookmark lower in the list.
To delete a bookmark from the Bookmarks list: Tap the - sign in a red circle to the left of
the bookmark's name and then tap the red Delete button.
When you're finished using bookmarks, tap anywhere outside the overlay to return to the map.
