Google Maps is a very important feature right now. It continues to give many features to its users. Along with this, Google Maps also gives you the option to locate the pin. Pinning a location to this one makes it easy to find.
Google Maps recently added several new features including estimated toll prices, real-time traffic conditions. This shows that Google Maps is not just a navigation app, which helps users move from one point to another. One of the special features offered by the app is that the app allows users to drop a location on the map, save it and share it with their friends and family. This feature can be very useful when a particular location is not known or is far from the road network. The Dropping Pin feature is available for Android, iOS and desktop users.
