I'm confusing both of us, I think. I can't get a link that lets me save a
bookmark in either Apple maps, Google maps, or Safari, much less save a
bookmark to the iPad's desktop, which was often useful.  In fact, I have
several such on this iPad Air's desktop that were saved on the old iPad and
transferred with everything else when it was set up from the latter's last
backup. I'm afraid to sync the old one now, however, for fear i'll lose
something the sync of the new one might have changed.
