Apple Maps Add Marked Location to Contacts (iPhone)

I want to mark a specific point on a road > I marked a location, drag info panel up and it does not have option to Create New Contact/Add to Existing Contact, only option is to Add to Favourites. However, add to contact options do appear if I pin a location just down the road.

How do I get this option for any pin point?

Many thanks

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Dear Kareng12,


Thank you for your response. Unfortunately the issue is still not resolved.  When I mark the location in Maps, swipe up from “Marked Location”. The only option given is add to favourites. The option to Edit Location, Create New Contact, Add to Existing Contact etc do no appear!

Not sure how to fix this one!!


Many thanks
