the challenge with migrating away from Google (which has been a slow process) is that many of the alternatives out there while better than Google in many ways get some really basic stuff wrong or just don't even have it.
Today's example - Apple Maps which I greatly prefer to Google maps for directions (their driving directions in car are night and day better than Google's)
Does not, it seems, have an easy way to save a place for future reference at least not one that I see intuitively via web

it is possible that in the mobile app there is a way to save a place but I wish it also existed in the web browser implementation as well. Use case - just read about a small garden in NYC in the East Village that has a treehouse and looks like an amazing little oasis in the urban fabric of the city - a place I haven't seen in any of my (many) past visits. So I wanted to save it while I was thinking about it as a place to visit in the future in the hope that on a future visit I'll be reminded
