| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | EKirman | 9/4/12 6:55 AM | For the Android version offline starring would be nice. Otherwise if you have no data connection at the time, the address (where you pressed long) cannot be loaded, so the star option does not come out. Also the option (not required) to be able to na |

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | Robmiester | 9/17/12 6:16 PM | I use stars as POI's (for traveling) - colored stars - would allow easier identification of interest/POI/reson/purpose of star- ability to "name" star - this is especially so when there is no name or place, and the map point is only GPS coord's only. |
| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | leedarrow | 9/18/12 10:42 AM | The only new feature relating to starring places that I would like to see is the ability to star a place and count on it staying stared and count on it it showing up on the map six months later.

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | David Clarkin | 9/19/12 7:58 PM | I would be great if you could rename and organize stared locations.

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | Jesse Varner | 11/7/12 2:07 PM | Once you star a location, you lose the option to "search nearby."

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | BJ Harbach | 11/7/12 5:14 PM | I would REALLY LOVE IT if I could place Stars in different COLORS to indicate different things of my choosing.

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | Daniel Wenger | 11/10/12 2:18 PM | Hello, Star on Google Maps is a great function. It could be improved by offering the opportunity to take a photo of the spot starred. This function would offer something similar to "FootPrints", a very nice app found on old HTC phones.

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | seldnplan | 12/4/12 9:46 PM | I'm surprised this hasn't been already mentioned.

| Re: Do you have a feature suggestion for starring a place on Google Maps? | Leandro Coelho | 12/6/12 2:18 PM | It would be great to have a location-based reminder on my Android.
