Free Maps 'Guides' sharing/storing solutions!

After years of Feedback to Apple, and posts on this forum, Sharing Map Guides finally works. I post this in case you've been struggling with it too, and didn't know it had been fixed.


  • So like I say, Share now works, sharing Guides etc with other Map users.
  • I discovered this accidentally, by trying sharing a Guide with myself, in Notes.
  • That could then be shared with others.
  • A bonus of using Notes is that Guides can be 'parked' there (see screenshot) and deleted from the Guides section in Maps - think of it as remote storage for Guides you don't need all the time. It cleans up the Guides section in Maps, and a simple double click restores them. (This would not be needed if Guides could be stored in folders - I have over 50 and it gets a bit busy.)


So I hope this helps people who didn't know Sharing now worked, and that Guides can be archived.
