Why are mapping services so stingy with custom lists of pinned location? This announcement from Apple made me excited because Google Map's saved list has become unusable for me. I have 8,000+ favorites (used to mark places I've visited) on Google Maps and behavior above 500 is undefined. On Mobile, Google Maps loads an arbitrary list of 3,000 pins. Unfortunately, Apple is even worst with a limit of 100 [2]

You can put items in guides, i'm not sure the limit of items you can put in a guide or how many guides though

[diceduckmonk]

"Total number of places across all Guides: 300"

These limits wouldn't be an issue if Google Maps API actually allowed fetching saved list features.

I have over 2,000 places saved in Guides in the Apple Maps app. Not sure what that 300 place limit is referring to, but I haven't had any issues.

For Google Maps, They have an “official” limit of 500 where anything beyond that is not guaranteed. In practice, the current limit is 3,000.

I’m wondering if Apple Maps is doing something similar where they set a low official limit that they can walk back on / to in the future, as to avoid legal responsibility

AFAIK the API doesn’t even let you log in as your Google user account.
