How to mark places with pins in Maps on iPhone

You can use pins to mark places so you can more easily find those locations later.

You can drop a pin to share a location, or to start or end your route at a spot that isn’t already marked on the map. Only one pin shows at a time, unless you save your pins to your Places. You can also share a pin, or get the latitude and longitude of a pin.

Drop a pin

Drop a pin to start or end your route somewhere that isn’t already marked on the map, or to share a location with someone else.

Unless you save them to your Places, only one pin appears at a time.

1. Open the Maps app on your iPhone.
2. Touch and hold the map until a pin marker appears.
3. To refine the location, tap Move and then drag the map.

   Tap Pin.

If you want to mark several places with pins, save each one as you drop it.

When you open the Maps app, your pins appear as a row of icons in your Places.

To get directions to the pin, tap the pin, then tap the directions button.

Quick tip: You don’t need the Maps app open to note your current location. Touch and hold the Maps icon on the Home Screen and choose Mark My Location.
