- Choose the pin: Once the map is closely viewed, the desired pin can be selected to edit. It can be chosen either by entering the point coordinates into the search bar or by pressing or clicking (depending on the device) on the map to pinpoint a specific spot.
The selected point can then be edited using the info window. In here, points can be modified, moved, saved and discarded all at once. Any modifications made become instantly visible in the map view. Additionally, points can be removed from the map via the ‘delete’ feature.
