Pins: Mark a specific location (e.g. "Starbucks" or "Perfect Beach")
Tags: Use these to group your pins together (e.g. "Coffee" or "Beaches")

Quick drop pins

You can then do a quick Pin Drop with minimal information or get stuck in and do a full pin edit. The information you can add to a pin varies depending on your subscription level.

Place your pin and add information

Placing a pin

Find somewhere: Search for a business name, town/city, address, zip code, lat/long, what3words etc to find a location.
Place pin: When you see the drop pin icon (dark pin with an X at it's base), drag the map to perfectly place your pin.
Save location: Tap the tick button at the bottom of the screen and you'll be able to add the data you want. The only required bit of data when dropping a pin is to add a name.

Organise with tags

Organise your content using tags. Tags are a great way to group your pins together to make them easy to browse, share and just keep everything organised and discoverable.

Customise your tag (name, colour and icon)

Customise your tags

When you create a tag you can assign it a: name, colour and also a custom icon (if you want), to change the way the pins that use it are displayed on the map.

To change the colour of your tag you can tap and drag the colour wheel or enter a hex number value. Once you're happy with what you've chosen, just tap save.

Change the way your pins look on the map by adding an icon (you need to add the tag name first)

Customise tag icons

Once you've added the name of your tag you will see a new row appears between the name and colour. This will suggest some icons based on what you've called your tag. If none of those are what you'd like, tap the expand icon on the far right of the row and you'll be able to search through all the available icons.

Group with Lists

Lists are a great way to bring together content and package it up to share it with others. Not only can you create lists by yourself but you can also invite others to collaborate with you.

Curating content as lists is perfect for city guides, Airbnb guest guides and for sharing hobby-based locations. As per our terms of conditions, lists should be used for non-work purposes.

Sharing is caring

You can't keep all those awesome places to yourself can you?! Sharing outside of Pin Drop is meant to be quick, simple and (hopefully) inspire others to enjoy your hidden gems.

Share your pins, tags, lists or profile on: Facebook, X, Instagram and more.

Getting started with Teams
