Q: Maps iOS 7 and Yosemite integration: Where did the bookmarks go?

I am using iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 and Yosemite on my MBP.

 

I have a lot of bookmarks  on my phone of places I stumbled upon while walking around in the city. I was expecting that I could sync these to Maps on my laptop somehow, preferably via iCloud. Now when I tried this, I noticed that bookmarks disappeared from Maps in Yosemite. There is not a thing called "Favorites", which is empty - of course - even though I used to have quite a few bookmarks stored in there. Moreover, while I am able to send maps to my phone from my laptop, I cannot do the same in the other direction. The only way to send locations from iPhone to Yosemite seems to be via Email.

 

Am I missing something here? Is there a feature I don't know about or can't find?

    Click in the search bar, which brings up Favorites. Are they there?

    I am having the same issue.  My Maverick bookmarks didn't make the migration to Yosemite maps.  So I manually entered several addresses to the favorites list.  Looks good.  Then I exit maps and reopen and favorites is empty.  I try again with same results.  Useless.

    I guess I was asking two questions actually:

     

    1) where did my bookmarks go?

    well, they are gone it seems. The Favorites function itself works at it stores bookmarks (thanks for the tip, Eric). Just the ones I made on Maverick are gone.

     

    2) Syncing favorites between iPhone and Mac

    From what I read on other threads, that does not seem to be working as of now. At least not under iOS 7.
