- Use the search bar at the top to type in the name of the location you want to drop a pin on.
- Drop a Pin:
- Once the location is loaded, tap and hold your finger on the screen at the point where you want to drop the pin. A red pin icon will appear.

On Desktop:
- Open Google Maps in Your Web Browser:
- Go to Google Maps and log in with your Google account if prompted.
- Search for a Location:
- Use the search bar at the top-left corner to type in the name or address of the location you want to mark.

Additional Tips:
- On both mobile and desktop, you can move the pin after dropping it by clicking and dragging it to a new location.
- To remove the pin, click or tap on it, and look for an option like “Remove” or “Delete” in the information panel.
