Pin Drop

The same pin that logs a site visit saves a place you love. Pin Drop runs a single custom map app for both, so a personal account and a work account don't need separate tools. A pin becomes the record for that place, holding tasks, visits, notes, photos, videos, files, custom fields and comments, with an audit trail of what changed and who changed it.

You can keep working with no signal. Drop pins, add notes and attach photos while offline, and the app queues the changes on the device and uploads them the moment it picks up a connection. That means nobody has to remember to sync by hand, and anyone sharing the map sees the update as soon as it lands. Search and the map background work from what's already cached, so it's worth opening the areas you need before you head somewhere without coverage.

Pins mark a specific location, like a client site or a favourite beach, and tags group them together. When you build a tag you set its name, colour and a custom icon, so the pins using it show up on the map the way you want. Sort thousands of places into layers and lists, and any one of them stays a search away.

Bringing your places across is part of the setup, not a chore you do by hand. Pin Drop imports from Mapstr, Google Maps or a spreadsheet, and the places land ready to use rather than as a raw dump to clean up. That matters if you're moving a personal list over, or onboarding a team that already keeps its locations in a shared doc.

Sharing is built around one map rather than sending files back and forth. You give each person view, comment or full edit access on the same custom map, and everyone sees the same places. Team plans add comments, role based permissions and a shared record of who did what, so a field crew and the office work from the same live picture.

On paid plans the map starts doing work for you. Plan a route by sequencing stops, log a check-in, and track visits against a place. Custom fields and pipelines let you follow a job from first contact to done, and the 90-day activity feed keeps the trail of what happened so nothing gets lost. Territory and people management arrive on Team Pro.

Pin Drop runs on iPhone, Android, the web and a browser extension, and one account keeps them in step. Save places on your phone while you're out, then plan and tidy up on a bigger screen, and anything you add on one device comes back to the others. Navigation stays outside the app: it hands a route to Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps so you use the maps app you already like.
