| Access "My Places" on iPhone | yehuda1 | 2/11/12 3:43 PM | I have created a custom layer with addresses and stored it in my Google Maps account under My Places. I can access the data fine on the PC and Android (Galaxy S2) phone. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to access the information with similar ease o |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | JulianStuart | 3/19/12 1:38 PM | Same experience - iPad2 iOS5 Google maps doesn't communicate with my Google Maps account so I can't load My places. Using Safari, I can get to "My places" and it sort of loads but when I zoom in beyond some view, they all disappear. Pretty useless f |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | yehuda1 | 3/19/12 2:09 PM | I use this feature at work. We're in the distribution business so I marked our dealers on the map and shared it with my coworkers. Using Android, they can easily recall who's in their area as they travel across the country. |

| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | yehuda1 | 3/19/12 2:45 PM | I noticed this app, which seems like it might be a decent alternative to iOS Maps in the meantime. From the description: "BatchGeo for iOS is a companion application for use with BatchGeo map making tools. The app lets you interact with your saved m |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | JulianStuart | 3/19/12 2:57 PM | "My place for Google maps" is a $0.99 app that lets you get to your "My places" location on Google and will then let you click on any one of those placemarkers and show it to you by opening Google maps. That is a step forward, and just fine if you o |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | yehuda1 | 3/19/12 3:03 PM | Thanks for pointing out that app, I'll check it out. |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | JulianStuart | 3/19/12 3:12 PM | You're welcome . It worked for me first time on an iPad2 iOS5. Maybe they'll be able to do more later, but that would involve getting into the code of Google maps - may not be possible except by Google. It imports "directions" from the My places fo |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | jclark1 | 3/27/12 12:26 PM | If you've created a map with several places on your PC, you can just email yourself the link; open it on your iPhone and save the web app to your Home Screen. You can also access My Places through the Google Earth App (I'm not sure why we can't just |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | JulianStuart | 3/27/12 1:11 PM | Thanks for the reply. I just emailed myself the map e.g. "MyTripPlaces.kml and I see it as an attachment in my Mail message (using the Mail app to read the message). How do I save that as " a web app to my home screen"? Tapping on the attachment o |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | jclark1 | 3/27/12 1:20 PM | I don't know about .kml file. I just logged into Google on my PC, went to Maps, clicked My Places, clicked the specific map that I had created, then clicked the "Link" button (next to Print button), checked "Short URL", and emailed myself that URL.

| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | JulianStuart | 3/27/12 1:44 PM | Thanks for that - now I understand which arrow button is referred to in that rather cryptic popup! I have the "web app" and it brings me to the Safari window with all the places ion the map. Progress! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get t |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | SheezOrganz | 3/28/12 11:39 AM | Julian, pretty much sums up the issue. Google just launched Places which looks like an app designed to sell local mobile ads and little else. I would use that app if it got me to my Google "My Places". Anyone from Google reading--you can target |

| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | SheezOrganz | 3/28/12 11:49 AM | Okay to up the stakes here for Google, I propose a campaign to trash review all local advertisers until My Places is added to Places. |
| Re: Access "My Places" on iPhone | ehg | 3/28/12 12:21 PM | regarding MyPlaces: My Places of GoogleMaps is nothing else as the renamed former My Maps. And infact there isn't much more functionality either. (there are a few but it doesn't affect the former MyMaps functionality)So I can't see in parts of the t |
