How to Drop a Pin in Google Maps
Google Maps is a feature that is a part of Google's Internet resources. Google Maps allows users to create their own maps in order to plan out travel routes or determine where a specific location is in an area. When you are creating your own map you can drop pins, also known as placemarks, to create landmarks or points of interest on your map. You can drop as many pins to your map as you want and save the changes to your Google account.
