    This may be simple to some of you, but what is the best way to record my location for future reference or to share with someone later on.

    For example, I drive to a park or business. It's nice, I want to remember this location or place so if I want to give this to someone later I can. I would like to be able to easily name/label it too.

    I played with Map a bit and it seemed a bit cumbersome to me. I know I must have ADD.

    Thanks.

    Dunno if you have ADD but...

    BlackBerry Maps > My Places > Favorites > Overflow (the three dots) > Add favorite > My location

    It will grab the address you're in and autofill.

    Thanks for your reply. I don't see My Place > Favorites > Overflow. When I go to the Overflow on my Q10 all I see is Hide Traffic & Clear Map. I'm using Map. Could I be using a different one? Here's a screenshot of my.

    Follow diegonei's instructions exactly as printed: don't tap the overflow, FIRST tap "My Places", make sure you are on the "Favorites" tab, THEN tap the overflow. (Assuming Maps is the same on your Q as it is on my Z)

    See I must have ADD. First, I guess I didn't realized that the 'man icon' was "My Place".

    I had someone text me their location. For some reason, when I add this to Favorite, the GLOBE shows a ? Question Mark. So when I click on that location from Map, nothing happens. What am I missing? I'm sure it's something simple.

    P.S. I got rid of the ? Mark somehow. Please ignore. Thanks!

    Thanks again.

    Somehow or other I got rid of the ?? (Question MARK) and it's okay now.

    Please ignore my question. Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

    Sorry, no can do. We don't ignore questions here!

    The "?" Globe is a sign that Maps could not get that address. Tweak it a but (some times a simple comma will do the trick) and it will get the location!

    Glad you got it all set!

    Appreciate your help. When I'm with my other friends who have Droids or iPhone, I don't want to seem so klutzy.

    The Q10 is really my first BB and really super great smartphone. I'm really enjoying it. This forum is great for picking up tips. I have some other questions, but those will have to wait. Gotta get back to work
