Pin Drop Extension

Use Pin Drop to remember places you’ve been and places you want to go for work, travel and play. The perfect tool for organising maps, planning trips and collaborating with friends, family and colleagues.

Pin Drop is FREE to use. No account creation is required to use the app (unless you want to unlock the more advanced / social features).

Import your existing maps from Google Maps, Mapstr and more to super-charge them with Pin Drop.

The maps you create are fully encrypted, secret and only viewable to you (apart from pins you want to selectively share with friends or colleagues). We don't sell your data, we never will, we don't use your data to target you for advertising, and never will. Your Pins are yours and always will be.

See it. Remember it. Pin Drop it.
