Microsoft has released a new update to its Windows 10 Maps app for Windows insiders on the Fast Ring. The app has been bumped to version 5.1610.2954.0 and gained a new “Collections” features which lets you better organize your saved locations.

You can create a new Collection right after tapping a random location, but you can also do so by going into the “Saved places” section of the app where you can now see both your saved Favorites and Collections. Once you create some collections, You can pin them your to your Start Screen.

This new feature is a good addition for those of you who use the app a lot and struggled to keep some organization with their saved locations. As usual, the update should roll out to other Insider rings and the Production ring in the coming weeks. Let us know what you think of this new feature in the comments below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
