I went into Apple Maps. I zoomed into a specific location, and dropped a pin. Apple Maps named the location "Dropped Pin". I would like to rename the location, and have tried all of the obvious methods (double clicking on the phrase "Dropped Pin" in the info dialog box), but cannot figure out whether it is something that cannot be done, or something that I can not find help on.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
It took me eons to figure this out, it's hardly intuitive and it seems a bit 'Glitchy' to me, but here is how you do it:
Enjoy the new name. I have found that sometimes the newly named pin will not zoom to the location and one time Maps threw a dickie fit and crashed, but sometimes it works! :-D

Apparently this no longer works in Yosemite. No bookmark icon, no way to edit Dropped Pin label.
Amazing how perverse the user interface designers can be...
Wish Apple posted this on the documentation, at least.
