Description
Favorite destinations can be added by tapping a heart icon found in the Directory next to the destination name or on the destination information card. For example, a user might want to mark destinations they travel to regularly - like a gym or a platform at a train station - as a “favorite” destination. Destinations that have been favorited appear on the building information card.
