1 Tech Tip

Emojis for saved Google Maps lists

Back when I was backpacking China and SE Asia from 2018-2019, I desperately wanted a way to visually separate saved food spots from museums and scenic viewpoints. Instead, I was stuck with Google Maps’s 5 generic default icons. 😒

Turns out, Google quietly fixed this in September 2023!

Now, when you create or edit a saved list in Google Maps (on iOS or Android), you can assign it an emoji icon: like 🍔 for restaurants, 🖼️ for museums, 🌄 for viewpoints, etc.

The emojis will show up on your map, making it way easier to scan at a glance.

Wish 2018 me had this but better late than never!

If you ever need a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.

Thank you for reading!

If you have a ridiculous story related to your job that you’re comfortable sharing, I’d love to turn it into a BCCing my EA comic!

You can just reply to this email to share your story :)

I’ll see you next Thursday~
