Mark a location with a pin
You can drop a pin at a location to get directions or help you find it again. Pins are temporary, but you can save a location to use later by marking it as a favorite.
Drop a pin
On your map, Control-click the location you want to mark with a pin, then choose Drop Pin. (Or force click on a Mac with a Force Touch trackpad.) Maps drops a purple pin
in the center of the map.Maps uses red pins to mark locations—for example, when you search for a business—but a pin that you drop is purple. You can have only one dropped pin on the map at a time.
If the pin isn’t where you want it, drag it to a new location on the map.
To see information about a pin, click it, then click the Info button 
. To close the Info window, click outside of it.
