How to rename or hide a destination label
Open the stop’s More actions menu, choose Rename, type the new label and press Enter. To hide a label, open the stop and clear its Display name: the stop stays, without text on the map.
Step by step
Choose Rename
Hover the stop in your destination list, click More actions (the menu icon on the right of the row) and choose Rename.
Type the new label
Type the label you want (up to 100 characters) and press Enter, or click anywhere else to save. Press Esc to cancel.
Hide a label
Click the stop to open its settings, clear the Display name field and press Enter. The list shows a No label chip, and nothing is written on the map for that stop.
Label tips
- Short labels read best in vertical videos. “NYC” often beats “New York City, New York”.
- Label styling (font, size, colors) is shared by every stop. See change label fonts and colors.
- To hide the country, ocean and road names printed on the base map instead, see show or hide map labels.
