New Google Maps store favorite places on the Web


These days, Google has updated its mapping software for smart phones to version 3.3. The big news in the new version is saved locations stored online (through an account) and synchronized between mobile phones and computers that are used in Google Maps.

New Google Maps 3.3 for S60 and Windows Mobile radically alter the way the program handles so-called landmarks. In older versions of Google Maps, mobile systems for local landmarks used. But now introduced its own system for favorites, called "stellar objects selected" or "starred items" in the English-language version. The system is online-based (like the buddy track service Latitude) and any favorite places thus stored locally on the phone.

At the first start of the new Google Maps 3.3 is copied mobile local favorites into Google's online system where seats are called for stellar objects selected. In the details pane for a specific location / address is now the option "add as a star" which adds the location to the object list.
