Place Pins combine the imagery of sophisticated map technology with your Pins, making them accessible from anywhere on the Web or your smartphone. You can even use the map technology to discover new places or get directions! Place Pins can include pertinent information like addresses and phone numbers to help you plan your trip.
How to Make a Place Board
To make your own place board, just select ‘Add a map’ when you create a new board, or you can edit the existing settings of live boards. You can also collaborate with friends on group map boards to help plan adventures together.
With so many places and boards to explore, Pinterest made a collection of special place boards for your inspiration, including:
