iPhone 101: Bookmark travel destinations

by Dave Caolo Aug 29th 2007 at 3:00PM

I did some traveling this summer (with two toddlers, so don't be envious). Certain that I'd need to conduct a search or two, I bookmarked my destinations on my iPhone, and you can do the same. Just follow the steps:

  1. Launch Google Maps.
  2. Enter the zip code of your destination city.
  3. Once it has been found, create a bookmark.
  4. Repeat for each stop you'll make.

Now, when you're jonesing for a venti iced green tea latte in a strange place, simply launch Maps, click Bookmarks and then your location. You'll be sippin' in no time.

Another tip: you can use Google Maps in a browser (not the iPhone) to get directions, etc -- then email the URL to your iPhone. If you tap on the link in your iPhone email, it opens up in the iPhone Maps application -- NOT safari -- which is terrific!

When I'm planning a trip with multiple legs, I just pull up the directions on Google Maps, and email all the trips to myself for easy access later via the Maps application on the iPhone.

This really is so useful when you travel. I needed to change from a train to a ferry, so I had them both bookmarked. It was easy to figure out the route between them, but then I decided I wanted to go to a cafe. So I pulled up the train station bookmark, searched for coffee, found a place and got directions, then it was just as easy to get directions from the cafe to the ferry terminal. SO AWESOME.

Do Google Maps searches default to the last area in which you searched? If not, I don't quite think I understand how this can work to find a Starbucks and not just the center of a ZIP code.

I agree. It would be a handy feature if I win the iPhone.
