On my previous phone, using OVI Maps, I could save my current location, give it a name, sync it with the an OVi server etc.

I can't seem to find any way to do that in google maps on Android. Am I missing something?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S with Google Maps 5.5.0 #5507.

When you are in Google maps, click on your location And you get the details page. In the upper right corner there is an outline of a star. Touch that and it turns yellow and adds that location to "Starred places". You can access it anytime from maps by going to menu>starred places.

As far as I can tell, that only works for places which are already known to google (restaurants, bars, schools, stations etc). I've used it to tag favourite places, or places I'm planning to go to.

There is no star to tap on when viewing your own location.

Zoom in close enough so that when you touch the screen the address in a rectangle appears. Touch the rectangle, touch the star
