Perhaps you tried a new restaurant and really loved it. Maybe you are visiting a new city for the first time. Perhaps you even have favorite places you'd like to share with others. With Apple Maps, now you can do just that. With Apple Maps Collections, you can create as many collections as you want, based on a theme, type of business, location, or anything else your heart desires. To get started, launch Apple Maps in iOS 14 or iPad OS, then search for a place of interest. When you find a place you want, tap on it to display the place card. Now, tap on the "Add To" button. >From here, you can choose an existing collection or create a new one. It's that easy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>When you want to view your collections later, simply launch Maps and scroll down to your collections. Then, choose the one you want, to see all the saved places in that collection. You can even share your collections with others, so they can also benefit from your favorite places.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>---<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>We've probably all had the experience of finding a cool new restaurant or amazing candy store, only to struggle to remember which block it was on when we try to go back. Apple Maps is a native iPhone and iPad app that can not only save a location but also share it! Now, when you find a place that your friends and family will love, you can easily send its exact address directly from your Maps app, so they can find it too.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>1. Open the Maps app.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>2.

If you don't know the address, you can enter the name, and Apple Maps will give you a selection of locations; it's not guaranteed that the place you're looking for will be included, but so far, the Maps app has been pretty accurate.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>4. Tap on the location, and an address card and map will pop up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times",serif'>5.
