Google Maps allows you to keep tabs on important or memorable locations by allowing you to drop a pin on your map. Here's how use pins in Google Maps.

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.

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

However, we recently saw Google Maps testing a new circular icon, replacing conventional pin-shaped ones for saved places.
