How to Create a Location in Google Maps
Google Maps can be a helpful tool when it comes to planning a route for a trip or finding a way to get from one place to another. Many times when you're searching for directions on Google Maps, you'll use a certain location (such as your home address) more often than other locations. You can set a location and store it for later use so that you don't have to re-type it every time you're trying to figure a route.
