How to move or rename a dropped pin
Open the pin’s More actions menu and choose Move pin, drag the map to the new spot and click Save location. To change its text, choose Rename in the same menu and type a new label.
Step by step
Choose Move pin
Hover the dropped pin in your destination list, click More actions (the menu icon on the right) and choose Move pin. You can also open the stop and click Move in its Location field.
Drag to the new spot
The picker opens on the pin’s current position. Drag the map until the pin sits on the new spot, adjust the zoom, then click Save location. A notice confirms the move and offers Undo.
Rename the label
Choose Rename in the same menu, type the new label and press Enter. To remove the label completely, clear the text and press Enter.
Turn a dropped pin into a searched place
If the place exists in search after all, open the stop and choose Swap for a searched place in its Location field. Mappi searches near the pin, and the stop gets the place’s name and boundary while keeping its spot in the route and its styling.
