How to Use a Dropped Pin in Google Maps

Jane Watson22 May, 2025Technology

A dropped pin in Google Maps is a manual marker you place on the map to identify a specific location, especially one that doesn’t have an address or listing. You can use it to get directions, save the spot for later, or share it with others via a link. It's useful for planning meetups, exploring new areas, or bookmarking custom places. Simply tap and hold on the map to drop a pin.
