Pin Drop Location
When you drop a pin in Google Maps, you’re telling the map where you are located. This is important because it helps Google Maps give directions from your location to other places. The pin also shows up on the map, making it easy for others to find your location.
Dropping a pin in Google Maps is an easy way to mark a location on a map. The pin can be used to mark a specific address, or it can be used to mark a location on the map that is relevant to your current search.
The location of the pin is important because it helps Google Maps determine the best route for getting you to your destination. When you drop a pin, Google Maps will automatically calculate the distance and estimated time of travel from your current location to the location of the pin.
