Droping multiple pins on maps app

My boss handed over his iPad and asked me to drop a pin at each of the 9 locations he will be visiting while on a business trip. I have the map app but only on my iphone and am certainly not this well versed on it. How do I drop multiple pins and then how can I link them together for directions? Thanks!

Mac Book, iPAD

Apple makes tinker toys. If you're looking for industrial productivity, you have 3 options:


1) write your own mapping app

2) buy somebody else's app and hope it can be made to fit

3) search other platforms, i.e. Android, etc.


For professional usage, don't fall in love with tinker toys and candy wrappers.


Me thinks the best mapping solutions are cloud based web applications delivered via the browser, independent of whether your using an ipad, a desktop, or some other kind of pad.

Paulburd,

People can be so impatient sometimes huh?

Your app is PERFECT for my needs. Just found it while looking for rentals in Denver. Needed to drop multiple pins and did a Google search to find Pinbox.

In 10min I was able to learn the app and drop 18 custom pins for condos I want to visit, using the address search for dropping the pins.

I'm going to make similar maps for local food, POI's etc.

This app is awesome, couldn't be happier. thanks

I know this thread is old, but I think you can now do this with the most recent update. I have iOS 9.0.2 and I don't see a bookmajust option like someone else mentioned earlier. I'm guessing it was removed. But, now I just dropped a pin, touched on the address that comes up right above my pin. Then at the top right corner of the next screen, tap the square with the up arrow on it. Then choose add to favorites ⭐️ at the bottom left, give the location a name and then it turns the pin red and you can place multiple on the map at the same time. I haven't done much else with them yet so I'm unsure about getting directions between them or keeping your favorites but I'll update if I figure more out.


OK so update, if you click the x on the top address bar all of the pins disappear. They are saved as favorites but then you can only recall one favorite location at a time or get directions between two favorite points but still can not get directions between multiple points at the same time ugh.

Hi All,


It looks loke this is now possible using "favorites":


1) search for an address, scroll down and add it to favorites.

2) clear out all search results

3) with the search field empty, swipe up, and scroll down to the bottom of the list of recent searches, and tap 'Favorites'

4) swipe the search bar back down


Regards,


A
