Hi, is it possible to create a shortcut to add a place (via URL, or contact adress, etc) to an existing guide on apple maps? I could not find this info on the shortcuts app

Apple Maps: Adding Neighboring Addresses in Guides I currently have a Guide in Apple Maps with all the locations of my clients that I visit. I have noticed, however, that if I attempt to add a neighboring address (IE the house next door to an existing Guide address), it says it's already in my Guides. Even though it is a completely different address, home and client. Is this a glitch in the system? Or does Guides not support adding neighboring addresses? This is an important tool for running my business.

Maps | My Guides: lost ability to rename dropped pins added to my guides in maps Recently the ability to rename a dropped pin added to my guides was removed. Would anyone know a workaround as I use this functionality a lot? The issue occurs on all of the latest versions of Apple Maps on iOS and on MacOs. Previously we could do as follows: Drop pin on a map Add the pin to My Guide When adding the pin, there was an option to name it Since recently (I believe this started in mid-June 2023), we can only do as follows: Drop pin on a map Add the pin to My Guide When adding the pin, no option to rename it - it appears as "dropped pin" in the guide and on the map Many thanks in advance

Two nearby pins in Apple Maps I can’t place two pins within a couple of miles of each other in a non-addressable area of the map. If I try to save two pins too close to each other (about two miles apart), Maps thinks the second is already added to the Guide. All I can think to do is create a second guide, like, Moab Photo Locations 2. This is just so frustratingly dumb.
