Best Practices

Be Selective

Quality over quantity. Add your genuine recommendations rather than every nearby business.

Add Personal Notes

Use the comments field to share tips like "Try the seafood pasta" or "Best sunset views."

Use Consistent Colors

Create a color system (e.g., red for restaurants, blue for attractions) for easy visual navigation.

Keep Updated

Remove locations that have closed and add new discoveries.
