I have begun to plan my trip to Italy. As part of this I am creating a Google Map for each city I will visit. Within each city, I have different layers: Transportation, Hotels, Sights. While creating my Rome Map, I accidentally placed a hotel in the Sights Layer. My initial thought was that I would have to delete it and start over again, making sure that I placed it in the correct layer. Then…I thought, “Wait a minute, this is Google. I wonder if I can drag and drop the hotel to the correct layer.” Happily the answer was yes! So easy.
Check it out. The image on the left has Hotel Oceania on the Sights Layer. I drug that up to the Hotels Layer, where it now resides – shown in the image on the right.
now imagine if you need to move 50 markers from one layer to another… and drag’n’drop each pin one by one, this is bad UX
If you need to move a large number of pins from one layer to another, it might be easier to rename the layer.
Can you elaborate
Instead of moving several pins, rename the layer to match the pins that are there.
This is literally what i have to do right now.
THANK YOU. Figured there had to be a way around – very helpful
Glad you found it helpful. It’s always exciting to stumble upon a feature by accident!
THE most useless answer you could possibly type. TY
