Dropping Pins
A pin marks a single location on the map — a meeting point, a hazard, a vehicle position, a landmark, or anything else your team needs to know about.
When you drop a pin, every member of your group sees it on their map instantly.
How to drop a pin
Long-press anywhere on the map.
A creation dialog appears. Fill in:
- Label — a short name for the pin (e.g., "Rally point", "Downed tree", "Gate 3")
- Icon — choose from 12 icons: pin, hexagon, home, flag, star, work, food, coffee, parking, park, alert, or route
- Color — pick from 6 accent colors
- Description (optional) — a longer note about this location
Tap Create to place it on the map.
Pin icons and colors

| Orange | Primary points / default |
| Red | Hazards, dangers, blocked areas |
| Green | Safe zones, go-points |
| Blue | Resources, water, info points |
| Purple | Command posts, admin locations |
| Amber | Caution, staging areas |
