One of my pet peeves with Google Maps is that it doesn't remember my home or office location, even though I am signed in. So I have to type it out each time I want to check directions or time of travel with traffic.

The feature is not live yet, although it should be soon. Here are screen shots of how it will look:
Save The Location Once:
It Remembers and Autocompletes:
Special Icon On Maps:
Small things like this can be huge time savers.
