Mark places with pins in Maps on iPad
You can use pins to mark places in the Maps app so you can more easily find those locations later.

Drop a pin
You can drop a pin to share a location with someone else, or to start or end your route at a location that isn’t already marked on the map. When driving, you can add pins as additional stops along the way. (See Add a stop to your driving directions.) Only one pin appears at a time, unless you save them to your favorites.
Open the Maps app
on your iPad.
Touch and hold the map until a pin marker appears.
To refine the location, tap Move, then drag the map.
Do any of the following:
Save the pin: Tap More
(on the right side of the place card), then tap Add to Favorites.
To mark multiple places with pins, save each pin as you drop it.
Get directions to the pin: Touch and hold the pin, then tap Directions.
Share the pin with someone: Touch and hold the pin, then tap Share Location.
Get the pin’s latitude and longitude: Below Details, touch and hold Coordinates, then tap Copy.
Tip: To mark your location so you can find your way back later, touch and hold the Maps icon on the Home Screen, then choose Mark My Location. See Perform quick actions on iPad.
