How do I label dropped pins in Maps?

How do I label dropped pins in Maps? It would really be helpful to be able to label a dropped pin on a map with something like "Elk Hunting Spot". I can't find how to do that.

When you drop a pin it should create a label for you.

Maps: how to turn a dropped pin into a favorite

For iPhone iOS 8: The User Guide doesn't tell how to do this. Have dropped a pin at the current location but can't figure out how to turn it into a favorite. And then once you have a list of favorites, how do you access them?

Yes I had the same problem on the iPad with the new Apple Maps.
I have found that pins dropped by holding your finger on the map can be removed by the method described by the previous answer (from the Inofo panel) but pins that have been dropped by searches cannot be removed this way. To remove these pins clck on the search field and then in the top left corner of the 'Recents' list you will see 'Clear'. When you click on this you can clear all recent searches and all the drop pins associated with these searches should be cleard too. Trouble is it only 'clears all' you cannot 'swipe' to delete one at a time or 'Edit' the list.
Hope this helps.

IPad: How do I delete a drop pin on maps?

New user & have too many drop pins. I would like to delete some of them. Please help!

Tap on the pin. Then tap on the circled i. Thee may be an option to remove the pin. However, the pin may be associated with an address in your contact app and I think that you have to remove the address to remove the pin for a contact address. Also, you can associate a pin with a Map app bookmark. To remove those pins yo have to delete the Map bookmark.

Assign contact to dropped pin on Maps

Hi,
As topic says how to assign contact to dropped pin on the map. Sometimes maps can't find address of person which I would like to assign to that location so I drop pin on that location but then I can't get an option to "assign to existing contact" etc.
Is there any other way to do that?
Thanks

1. Tap the head of pin
2. Tap the "i" in the little blue circle
3. When new window open, tap Remove pin.

How to remove red pin om map app

how do i remove red pin on map app,im talking about red pin not the blue pin?

The label that is with the pin. Touch the blue arrow to the side of it and then touch where it says Remove Pin.
EDIT: I just re-read what you said. If it is a red pin, it is from a searched address. In that one, you have to cancel the search and the pin will go away.

Delete dropped pin on iPad iOS 6

How do you delete a dropped pin using maps on and iPad2 with iOS 6? Tapping the "i" in the blue circle near the pin opens a new window. However, the remove/delete dropped pin button is no longer there.

This is what I get after tapping the "i" in the blue circle for the pin.

How do I remove locations and/or pins from maps on iphone 5

How can I remove locations and/or pins from MAPS?

A purple pin is a dropped pin. You access that from the "back" of the map, but touching the lower right corner of the map. It is a pin that is dropped in the center of the map you happen to be looking at at the time. If there is no description of the pin, touch the pin and it should show a label, and on the right side of the label there is a blue arrowhead. Touch that and it will provide an address/description of the pin's location and there should be other options, such as directions to here, from here, etc., and then one to remove the pin. Touch that and it should disappear.

Why doesn't the map search locations and only drops pins?

I started a project in iPhoto and used the map to show various locations. It was easy to insert the locations as the map searched them for you. Now I only appear to be able to drop pins and label them. This is going to be very time consuming if I have to precisely search each location manually... Any suggestions?

How do you set the location of a phot if it has nort recorded the GPS co-ords ?
I cannot see a way to drop a pin !... Tx
This discussion is about photos on the map pages in a photo book. You can drop pins on the map of a book to mark a place, but that does not assign a location to a photo.
While viewing a map in a book, ctrl-click a place on the map and select "Drop Pin".
Adding location data to photos is not supported in Photos. I hope, the next update will add this necessary feature.
Send feedback with a feature request: Apple - Photos - Feedback
For the time being, you have to add GPS coordinates to the photos before importing them to Photos.
You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, houdahGeo, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.
If you updated iPhpto to version 9.6.1 before the update, you can still use iPhoto.
Just drag it back to the Dock from the Applications folder.
If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

How do I get rid of a dropped pin that comes up everytime I try to send a new message?

Every time I try to send a new message the dropped pin comes up in the text box? I deleted the pin on my maps and it still appears. It's so frustrating.

botsie, I know how frustrating that can be. No worries, help is here! Does this message appear only when you text your daughter? Have you attempted to erase the entire thread?
