How to organize places with custom guides in Maps on iPhone

You can organize places into your own guides for easy reference, and you can share your guides with others.

There’s always one guide to start with. A guide called Favorites always appears in your guides, which makes it easier for you to save places. From there, you can create a guide, add places to it, edit it, or remove it.
