If someone could point me to an existing thread about this, I'd appreciate it. I looked and couldn't find one. If not, maybe we could start a thread about how to transition from Gmaps to Bing maps for new WP8 users.
Question: Does anyone know what the WP8/bing maps equivalent to the 'starred places' on Gmaps would be?
Example, in Android/gmaps, you can 'star' a point/address/business etc on your map and this would be saved in a list that would be synced to gmaps on the web. I didn't use it a whole lot but I do miss it because I can't find a way to 'save' any current map activity on my WP8 maps.
I do have a Nokia and have noticed that there is a 'favorites' feature on there that requires a Nokia log in. That's a good option but my wife has an 8x and we can't find the bing version of this feature. Having my list of favorite places with Nokia doesn't do me any good when using Bing maps on a pc (or does it? I'm assuming not). I really miss the map syncing ubiquity from google here!
If Microsoft just doesn't have a solution yet, any suggestions on 3rd party apps that are good for this would be appreciated. I just don't want to have to re-enter a search every time I want to pull up a place I've found before.
