How do I customize a Google map better?

Post date: 2024-03-23 03:55:07

Whenever someone recommends a restaurant to me, I save it in a Google map called "Food to eat." When I look at the map, Google insists on throwing other businesses in there. Is there any way to stop it from suggesting other places? The icons are different but I don't want them anyway.

Also: after I've tried the restaurant, I'd like to mark it as "this was good, eat here again" but have it be visually different from "I heard this was good, try this one." I'm doing this all by saving pins, not by making a custom map from scratch, but it looks like custom maps also show businesses Google wants to have on there (and custom maps are a pain to do on the fly).

I'm open do doing this on something other than Google maps, but Google seems to be the easiest since they almost always have the business I'm looking for. I do this on my iPhone; it needs to be something I can do when I'm out and about.
