Knowing how to drop a pin in Google Maps can help you find, save, and share locations with ease. The steps may vary slightly depending on your device, but the overall process is simple.
On Android phones or tablets:
Open the Google Maps app.
Tap and hold on any location on the map that does not already have a label.
A red pin will appear, and you will see the address or coordinates at the bottom.
Tap on the address to see more options like saving, sharing, or getting directions.
On iPhone or iPad:
Launch the Google Maps app.
Tap and hold anywhere on the map.
A pin will drop, and a card will appear with the location’s details.
You can save it to a list or share it through other apps.
On Desktop (Google Maps website):
Open Google Maps in your browser.
Click on any spot on the map.
A grey pin appears with location details at the bottom.
Click to expand options like ‘SAVE’ or ‘DIRECTIONS’.
Dropping pins is especially helpful in areas where street names or addresses are unclear. It is a must-know tool whether you are navigating daily or planning a trip.
How to share a dropped pin with others
Once you have dropped a pin in Google Maps, sharing it is easy and quick—ideal when you want to guide someone to a precise location.
Here is how you can share a dropped pin:
On Android or iPhone:- Tap the dropped pin or address card.
- Select the ‘SHARE’ icon.
- Choose how you want to share—via WhatsApp, SMS, email, or copy the link.
On desktop:- Click on the pin or location.
- Choose the ‘SHARE’ option.
- Copy the link or share it via social media or email.
Sharing dropped pins can be especially useful for coordinating meetups, sharing delivery points, or sending location-based invites. However, these features work best on modern smartphones and tablets that handle app features without lag.
If your current device is outdated or slow, consider upgrading to a newer model. With Bajaj Finserv, you can explore the
latest offers on smartphones, laptops, and tablets—available on Easy EMIs and at partner stores near you.
