Favorites and Collections
In iOS 13 (and iPadOS 13 for iPad), Apple has added the ability to create favorites and collections in the official Maps app. Favorites are often-visited spots such as your business, local shopping center or restaurant, or residence. Favorites spots are identified in the Maps app with travel time to that location and suggested routes. Collections, by contrast, are for travel planners who want to learn more about a city. Once in the city, you can use the Maps collection to get around the city and visit its most popular sites with ease.
