Google Maps will let users easily track a dropped pin by always pointing to the pin's location relative to the current position.
Published Apr 3rd, 2023 10:02AM EDTDropping a pin to highlight a location is a key feature of the Google Maps experience. Yet it’s easy to lose track of that pin. Especially when you’re using the Android or iPhone version of the app. The smartphone’s limited screen real estate means the pin will quickly disappear once you start zooming in or panning around.
It might seem like an unimportant Google Maps upgrade, but it’s a feature that we could have had all along. As, however, this is actually a feature we’ve already had in other apps where navigation is critical to get the job done: video games. Anytime you see a map in a game, it’ll also show you an indicator of various waypoints and/or your position as you scroll through that map.
