Google Maps is the most popular map app used by billions of users worldwide. Not only provide information about the officially registered places; you can save your own location and share it with others. Pin drop feature offers a perfect solution for any place you want to meet with a hidden restaurant, a picnic area or friends.

Pin release process is very simple and quick:

  • Hold long time on the map
  • Information on location at the bottom of the screen will be displayed
  • You can give a name to the location and add detailed description
  • Easily accessible from recorded pin, phone or computer

After leaving the pin, Google Maps has saved this location automatically. You can access recorded locations from the “Registered” tab on the map app. You can also share the link of the location with your friends via SMS, email or social media.

This feature is highly useful for travel planning, local exploration or simple sharing of information. Unique places that are not available in official guides can now easily add to your personal map collection. The pin release feature of Google Maps has become one of the most practical ways to manage personal geographic data in modern navigation era.
