NAME a pin on Apple Maps (macos)

Sorry to say, I have just tried what you have done using Ventura 13.3.1 and it appears not to be possible in macOS

Though, from what I have read, it may be possible in iOS for iPhone / iPad with iOS 16

It’s simple, drop a pin, add it to your favorites, go to favorites, tap more then tap the Pin and change the name.

Hey Tim, Thanks for this very clarifying post! I wanted to let you know about a (totally ridiculous) workaround that's been helpful to me. I create a contact on my Mac (this doesn't work on iOS) with my preferred name and enter the coordinates from the dropped pin in the Country or Region field. Then when you're searching for that location in Apple Maps, it comes right up. Hope this helps!

You can't name dropped pins. However, if you type in an exact location you will get an exact address. Using the coordinates of your dropped pin, Google Maps returns the same result.

Tre are Other Devices that may or may provide the type of Mapping the User is looking for.

Some will even work via Satellite connections for locations

Yes, another gadget and cost but . . . User choice

What is that statement attempting to mean?

Honest question though a bit late to the game

Typo error and should read " Try "

In the context of original posting, it would not have been difficult to spot the typo error

Where were you 9 months ago when this was declared impossible? 😄
