Adding and Saving and Renaming a Location to a Standard Post or Event

Whether you use a geo-mapped location or not, you can Save Location for Future Use so that next time you use this same address, you can simply View Saved Locations and choose it from this list.

For Standard Posts:

1. From the create posts screen, select the + icon and choose Location from the menu of options.

2. Type in your desired location. Google Maps will recognize all matching addresses as you continue to type. Once found, select the location before hitting DONE.

For Events:

1. From the create event screen, scroll down and choose the row labeled Location.

2. Type in your desired location. Google Maps will recognize addresses as you type. Once found, select the location before hitting DONE.

Custom Locations:

For locations that don’t need a physical address, use a custom location. For example, ‘Jill’s House’ may be all the information you need to share with your group since everyone is familiar with this location.

1. From the create posts screen, select the + icon and choose Location from the menu of options.

2. Type in your desired location and select that location from the bottom of the list before hitting DONE.

Remaining Your Locations

Whether you use a geo-mapped location or not, you can Save Location for Future Use so that next time you use this same address, you can simply View Saved Locations and choose it from this list.

1. Click into the Location row on your standard or event post, add your desired geo-location, and tick the Save location for future use box and tap DONE.

2. Click into that same Location row once again and choose View Saved Locations.

3. On this new screen, you will see a list of saved locations to choose from. Find the one with the address you want to rename, and hit the ••• menu.

4. Choose Name this location from the drawer menu.

5. Add your Custom Name and then hit SAVE.

6. Tap on the newly renamed location to save. When everything else is in order, you are ready to POST.

Saving your locations for future use and renaming them for clarity are two best practices when adding locations to your posts.
