Google Maps is testing a new way to find your favorite locations when you use the app on your desktop.
How to use Google Maps' Saved Lists feature
A new "Dock to bottom" feature, initially spotted by Search Engine Roundtable, could be coming to the desktop version of Google Maps. The feature will let you place a specific location in the footer of Maps so you can return to it later.
Currently, you can add a location to a list of favorites or travel plans to view it later. However, this particular feature, "Dock to bottom," keeps the location visible as you navigate through Maps and other locations. According to 9to5Google, this feature could be useful if you're planning a trip and viewing multiple locations, but want to return to them later.
While Google is currently testing the feature, it's reportedly only showing up for some users, and even then, randomly. It's also unclear whether Google is testing this or plans to test it with the mobile app. Lifewire has reached out to Google for more information about the new Dock to Bottom feature, but had not received a response by the time of publication.
