谷歌地图^{(Google Maps)}长期以来一直取代卫星导航提供商，成为移动和桌面设备最好的^{(mobile and desktop devices)}地图应用程序和旅程规划^{(map apps and journey planners)}器之一，一路上与苹果地图和必应地图^{(Apple Maps and Bing Maps)}相媲美。

您可以使用它来查找您知道的目的地，但如果您尝试查找可以在Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中看到的地点的地址，您可以在上面放置一个图钉。这将加载有关该位置的相关信息，并帮助您查找路线、查看照片等。 

以下是在Android、iOS 和桌面设备上的^{(iOS and desktop devices)}Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中放置图钉的方法。

如何在 Android 上的 Google 地图中放置图钉^{(How To Drop a Pin In Google Maps On Android)}

虽然您可以查看您的Google 地图位置^{(Google Maps location)}历史记录以查找您以前访问过的位置，但如果您试图找出您以前从未去过的位置，这对您没有帮助。在Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}移动应用程序和桌面^{(apps and desktop)}上执行此操作的一个好方法是在该Google 地图位置^{(Google Maps location)}上放置一个图钉。

如果您是Android 用户^{(Android user)}，以下是使用Android 应用在^{(Android app)}Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中放置图钉的方法。

• 打开应用程序并使用搜索栏^{(search bar)}将地图视图^{(map view)}移动到您想要的位置。您也可以使用手指手动执行此操作。

• 一旦你的地图视图^{(map view)}就位，在地图上的一个位置上按下几秒钟——一个红色的大头针就会出现。您在搜索栏中^{(search bar)}搜索的位置会自动显示一个图钉。按下图钉将加载有关应用程序中位置的详细信息。

• 您可以通过按“方向”^(Directions)按钮查找到您放置的图钉的方向。按Save保存位置以备后用，按Label将其添加到类别（例如工作），按Share Place通过电子邮件或消息服务^{(email or messaging services)}或社交媒体 分享您放置的pin 位置。^{(pin location)}
  
• 您还可以查看有关位置的确切信息（包括地址和地图坐标）。根据图钉位置^{(pin location)}，您还可以通过单击“更新”、“评论^{(Updates, Reviews)}”或“照片^(Photos)”选项卡来查看评论、照片和业务更新。

• 如果您已完成，请返回地图视图^{(map view)}并点击一次 - 大头针应该会消失，除非您已将其作为位置保存到您的帐户中。您也可以在搜索栏中按^{(search bar)}X以从视图中取消该图钉。

如何在 iOS 上的 Google 地图中放置图钉^{(How To Drop a Pin In Google Maps On iOS)}

如果您有iPhone 或 iPad之类的 iOS 设备，那么重复上述步骤在^{(iPhone or iPad)}Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中放置图钉不会有任何困难，因为Google地图的界面在 iOS 上与在^{(Google Maps)}Android设备上几乎相同。

以下是在 iOS 设备上的Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中放置图钉所需的操作。

• 您需要先从App Store for iOS下载并安装 Google Maps 。^{(install Google Maps)}要手动放置图钉，请在地图上长按以放置它。如果您搜索特定位置，Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}会自动在该位置放置一个图钉。一旦图钉出现在地图视图^{(map view)}中，按下它以加载有关该位置的更多详细信息。

• 与Android上的Google Maps一样，iOS 上的 Google Maps 允许您通过按^{(Google Maps)}Directions来搜索到您的 pin 的路线，使用Labels添加诸如工作或家庭的标签，或者通过按^{(work or home)}Share Place与他人共享 pin 。更多信息，如地图坐标或邮政地址，也将在此处显示，以及使用菜单顶部的各种选项卡的位置评论和照片。

• 要从地图中删除临时图钉（例如，不是已保存的位置），请在地图视图^{(map view)}中点按一次，或按顶部搜索栏中的^{(search bar)}X按钮。

如何在桌面设备上的谷歌地图中放置图钉^{(How To Drop a Pin In Google Maps On Desktop Devices)}

Android 和 iOS^{(Android and iOS)}上的谷歌地图应用程序^{(Google Maps apps)}中显示的许多功能在谷歌地图^{(Google Maps)}的桌面版本中找到了生命。这是Google 地图的网络版本^{(web version of Google Maps)}，您可以在任何操作系统^{(operating system)}（包括Windows、macOS 和Linux ）上的任何现代^(Linux)网络浏览器^{(web browser)}中访问它。

虽然您不需要Google 帐户^{(Google account)}来使用Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}，但如果您想将图钉或位置保存到您的帐户以供以后使用，则需要登录一个帐户。

• 要在桌面设备^{(desktop device)}上的Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中放置图钉，请前往Google 地图网站^{(Google Maps website)}。该过程与移动设备非常相似——您可以搜索一个位置以自动放置一个图钉，或者在Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}查看器中手动按下一个位置以自己放置一个图钉。 

• 在Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}的网络版中，除非您选择现有的图钉（如地址标记^{(address marker)}），否则您放置的任何图钉都将显示为一个灰色的小图标。单击此按钮会将标记变为蓝色^{(marker blue)}，允许您搜索附近的其他位置（如餐馆），或查找前往它的路线。底部会出现一个小信息框（带有坐标和照片链接）——单击此处的^{(information box)}位置名称^{(location name)}可在左侧菜单中显示更多信息。

• 与移动应用程序一样，您可以按路线^(Directions)查找从您当前位置（或指定的替代位置）到此图钉的路线。您可以通过按共享与他人共享，或按^(Share)保存^(Save)将其添加为保存位置。单击添加标签^{(Add a label)}以将标签（例如作品）添加到图钉。

• 您还可以将网络版Google 地图中的 pin 发送到与您的^{(Google Maps)}Google 帐户^{(Google account)}关联的移动设备。单击^(Click) 发送到您的手机^{(Send to your phone)}以执行此操作。

• 您可以选择直接发送到Google Maps应用程序，或者通过SMS短信或电子邮件发送^{(message or email)}pin 位置^{(pin location)}。单击^(Click)这些选项之一以继续。

使用谷歌地图规划旅行^{(Planning Trips With Google Maps)}

一旦您知道如何在Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}中放置图钉，您就可以开始使用它来计划您的旅程。如果您想充分利用Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}，请使用Google 地图本地向导^{(Local Guides)}计划回馈您的当地社区，该计划^{(Google Maps program)}会奖励您发布的有关您访问的地点的评论、照片和答案。

如果您担心您的朋友和家人，您可以让他们在遇到麻烦时使用Google 地图^{(Google Maps)}分享他们的位置，您也可以！请在下面的评论中告诉我们您使用Google 地图的提示和想法。^{(Google Maps)}

How To Drop a Pin in Google Maps on Desktop and Mobile

Google Maps has long usurped sat nav providers to become one of the best maр apps and jоurney planners for mobile and desktop devіces, rivalling Αpple Maps and Bing Mаps along the way.

You can use it to find a destination you know, but if you’re trying to find the address for a place you can see in Google Maps, you can drop a pin on it. This will load up relevant information about the location, as well as help you find directions, see photos, and more. 

Here’s how to drop a pin in Google Maps on Android, iOS and desktop devices.

How To Drop a Pin In Google Maps On Android

While you can look through your Google Maps location history to find a location you’ve previously visited, this doesn’t help you if you’re trying to find out about a location you’ve not been to before. A good way to do this, on the Google Maps mobile apps and desktop, is to drop a pin on that Google Maps location.

If you’re an Android user, here’s how to drop a pin in Google Maps using the Android app.

• Open the app and use the search bar to move the map view to the location you want. You can also do this manually using your finger.

• Once your map view is in place, press on a location on the map for a couple of seconds—a red pin will appear. A pin will appear automatically for locations you search for in the search bar. Pressing on the pin will load details about the location in the app.

• You can find directions to your dropped pin by pressing the Directions button. Press Save to save the location for later, Label to add it to a category (eg. work) and Share Place to share your dropped pin location by email or messaging services, or through social media. 
  
• You can also view exact information about the location (including address and map coordinates). Depending on the pin location, you may also be able to view reviews, photos, and business updates by clicking the Updates, Reviews or Photos tabs.

• If you’re finished, return to the map view and tap once—the pin should disappear, unless you’ve saved it as a location to your account. You can also press X in the search bar to cancel the pin from view.

How To Drop a Pin In Google Maps On iOS

If you have an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad, you shouldn’t expect any difficulty in repeating the steps above to drop a pin in Google Maps, as the interface for Google Maps is almost identical on iOS as it is on Android devices.

Here’s what you need to do to drop a pin in Google Maps on iOS devices.

• You’ll need to download and install Google Maps from the App Store for iOS first. To manually drop a pin, long-press on the map to drop it. If you search for a specific location, Google Maps will drop a pin automatically on that location. Once a pin has appeared in the map view, press on it to load further details about that location.

• Like Google Maps on Android, Google Maps on iOS allows you to search for directions to your pin by pressing Directions, to add a label like work or home using Labels, or to share the pin with others by pressing Share Place. Further information, like map coordinates or a postal address, will also be visible here, along with location reviews and photos using the various tabs at the top of the menu.

• To remove a temporary pin (eg. not a saved location) from your map, tap once in the map view, or press the X button in the search bar at the top.

How To Drop a Pin In Google Maps On Desktop Devices

Many of the features shown in the Google Maps apps on Android and iOS found life in the desktop version of Google Maps. This is the web version of Google Maps that you can access in any modern web browser on any operating system, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

While you don’t need a Google account to use Google Maps, you will need to sign in to one if you want to save pins or locations to your account to use later.

• To drop a pin in Google Maps on a desktop device, head to the Google Maps website. The process is very similar to mobile devices—you can search for a location to automatically drop a pin, or manually press on a location in the Google Maps map viewer to drop one yourself. 

• In the web version of Google Maps, unless you select an existing pin (like an address marker), any pin you drop will appear as a small, gray icon. Clicking this will turn the marker blue, allowing you to search for other locations (like restaurants) nearby, or to find directions to it. A small information box (with coordinates and a link to photos) will appear at the bottom—click on the location name here to bring up further information in a menu on the left.

• As with the mobile apps, you can press Directions to find directions to this pin from your current location (or a specified alternative location). You can share it with others by pressing Share or add it as a saved location by pressing Save. Click Add a label to add a label (eg. work) to the pin.

• You can also send a pin from the web version of Google Maps to a mobile device linked to your Google account. Click Send to your phone to do this.

• You can choose to send to the Google Maps app directly, or send the pin location by SMS text message or email. Click on one of these options to proceed.

Planning Trips With Google Maps

Once you know how to drop a pin in Google Maps, you can start using it to plan your journeys. If you want to make the most of Google Maps, use it to give back to your local community using the Local Guides for Google Maps program, which rewards you for reviews, photos, and answers you post about locations you visit.

If you’re worried about your friends and family, you can get them to share their location using Google Maps when they’re in trouble—and so can you! Let us know your tips and ideas for using Google Maps in the comments below.
