Want to bookmark a location in Google Maps? Here's how to drop a pin in Google Maps on Android, iPhone, and the web, to save it for later.

This is where the pin feature comes in handy. You can drop a pin anywhere in Google Maps, and a pinned location can be saved and shared with anyone using a simple link.

Users can add their home address to Google Maps to make it easy to find. Once registered, friends, family, and delivery ...

For example, Google Maps lets you drop a pin no matter where you are. You can use Google Maps to save locations to check out later or add it as a placeholder when planning a trip.

Google Maps will let users easily track a dropped pin by always pointing to the pin's location relative to the current position.

To do this on a mobile device, simply launch the Google Maps app and tap your starting point that doesn't already have a pin. On the Dropped Pin card that shows up onscreen, select Measure Distance.
