On iPad, you can organize places into your own guides for easy reference, and you can share your guides with others.

A guide called Favorites always appears in your guides, which makes it easier to save places. You can add a place to a guide, edit a guide, and add Publisher Guides to your collection, too. You can also pin any places you want to see in your Places.
