How to find past dropped pins in ios maps

I've dropped a ton of pins but now I can't find any of them or a menu for pins or the pins on the map or anything. How do I find pins once I've dropped them.

Question marked as Apple recommended

As I quote from a past form:


Seeing marked / pinned locations is only available for a single place, due to only being able to drop a single pin. If you add that marked / pinned place as a Favorite, you can then refer back to it in the Maps app easier than by saving them as a contact.


If you hold down on a spot you want to save, it marks the location with a pin, then you can tap "Favorite", and give it a name. These can be found in your favorites inside the Maps app (bottom of the list).
