apple maps renamed pin confusion

I've dropped pin for a specific location in my favourites, and I've renamed the pin, but when I click on it, it goes to the location but has assigned a different name (the name of a town close by) which I can't rename. If I right click on the pin the option to rename is not there.


how can rename this pin?

Mac mini, macOS 12.4

Hey brendanfromburnaby,


We'd be happy to help out. You should be able to rename a pinned location if you've saved it as a favorite. For help, go through these steps:


"Rename a favorite location

If you’ve saved a pin to favorites, you can rename it.

  1. In the Maps app  on your Mac, click the Info button  next to a location (in the sidebar below Favorites).
  2. If your favorites aren’t showing, click the arrow .
  3. Click in the Name field, delete the previous name, then type a new name."


All this information and more is available here: Save a favorite location in Maps on Mac - Apple Support


We hope this helps out.


Take care!
