I've tried this on a few tablets including a Xoom on 3.2, a Transformer on 3.2 and a Tab on 3.2 I guess.

It shows up as follows.

Go to Maps and find a location. Click the location to see the address and a > in a circle.

Click the > against the address to see more information about the address.
Press the start to make it a favourite.

Then press X to cancel

Go back to Maps and press the menu button and My Places.
The place you just starred should show up. But no matter what I do I cannot select that favourite place to go back to its map location. However pressing Recent shows recent places I have marked and I can choose them to go back to view.

I am either using Maps wrong or there is a problem with Maps on HC.

Note that this works fine on my N1 running GB.

Hi, just tried that on my Iconia A500 on 3.2 and it works fine.

 




 I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

That is strange since I went into a Noel Leeming that has all the main HC tablets and tried it and it didn't work any of them. But then for some reason I didn't try the Acer tablet. Come to think of it I didn't try the Toshiba either so perhaps will do that the next time I am in a store.
