I'm trying to navigate through an unfamiliar area, but I need to leave a mark on the map so I can find my way back later. I've heard of something called 'dropping a pin' on Google Maps, but I have no idea how it works. Can anyone explain to me the step-by-step process for dropping a pin on Google Maps? I've tried searching online and watching YouTube tutorials, but nothing seems to make sense. Has anyone else had success with this feature? If so, can you please share your experience with me? I'd really appreciate it. I'm using a smartphone app to access Google Maps, and I think that's the key - I've checked the settings and everything looks good. But when I try to drop a pin, nothing happens. It's like the feature just isn't working for me. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting this to work? I'd love to hear from you if you've had success with dropping pins on Google Maps. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

To drop a pin on Google Maps, first ensure you have saved your current location by tapping the “Your Location” button or switching to satellite view and finding a fixed point. Next, tap the “Add marker” option from the menu, usually represented by a small red dot icon on the map, to create a new pin. You can choose to add multiple markers if needed. Right-click on an existing marker and select “Remove marker” to delete it. This feature allows for efficient navigation within unfamiliar territories, making it easier to identify key landmarks or locations during planning events, such as weddings, conferences, or festivals.
