In the Google Maps mobile app, "Your Places", consists of three categories of places:
- Favorites
- Want to go
- Starred places
as well as others that can be added by the user.
In Google Maps in browsers however, there are no such groupings and only "Starred places" appear.
This same factoring is now available in the browser version of Google Maps, but there remains no way there to move items from one grouping to another.
How do I mange the various lists of saved places in Google Maps, especially in the browser version of Maps?
Is there a way to move a place from one list to another; or to change the list a given place is in?

I can't find this explicitly in the Google Help, but it seems that only the "Starred places" list is editable from the browser.
The "Save favorite places" help page describes how to star a location, and it has tabs for Computer, Android, and iPhone/iPad.
The "Create a list of places" help page describes how to add places to the other lists. Unlike the starring page, this page ONLY talks about the "app", and does NOT have a tab for "Computer".
You can "Share" the other lists from your phone, which would allow you to view (but not not edit) them from a computer. Be careful though - the sharing uses public URLs, so don't do it with any lists you want to keep private.
