How to make Favorites look bigger while browsing Apple Maps?

Hello all,

I am trying to use Apple Maps, therefor I have moved (manually) all my favorites from G Maps to here. So I have them all synced, iPad, iPhone, iMac, all within Apple Maps.

My problems is I can not really see them on the map!

I see small dots, color dots, but very small. How can I make the tiny dots bigger?

On other apps the Favorites come out big and clearly on the map, like big yellow stars.

How you use Apple Maps with this Favorites function?

When I am in a new city I add like 10 favorites before going there, but it’s very hard to see them as they only show as very small dots.

iPhone 13 mini, 16

Hi visamex,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with viewing your Apple Maps favorites. We'd like to help.

Just to confirm, are you currently seeing the locations when you open the map in that city or are you pressing something to view them all at once? According this this resource, it doesn't look like there are any steps to make the icon/location more noticeable: Save favorite places in Maps on iPhone - Apple Support Check out the ways you can edit a favorite here:

Edit a favorite

1. On the search card, tap More above the row of favorites.

2. Tap next to the favorite.

3. Depending on the location, you may be able to make the following changes:

* Rename the favorite: Double-tap the Label field, then enter a new name.

* Change the address: Tap Contact Card, then make your changes.

* Delete the location from your favorites list: Tap Remove Favorite.

* Tell someone your ETA: Tap Add Person, then choose one or more suggested contacts, or search for a contact. Whenever you start turn-by-turn navigation to this location, the person automatically receives a notification about your estimated time of arrival (ETA). See Share your estimated time of arrival (ETA).

4. Tap Done.

If you'd like to do more with your Favorites, you can leave product feedback about that here: Product Feedback - Apple

Hope that helps!
