If you drop a pin on Google Maps via the desktop version of the app, you can share it with your Google Maps mobile app, email it to the Gmail address that's connected to your account, or share it via text with the phone number that you have associated with your Google account. These lists are just one way that Google Maps can integrate with some of Google's other products and services. You can also make group lists that anyone can add pins to-they're useful for vacations and day trips. Each list can be public or private, or shared with specific other users. You can add more lists (and delete the defaults) by going to Your Places in the app's main menu. Three pre-made lists are available by default: Favorites, Want to go, and Starred places.

You can then access it on all your devices. You can save a pin's location to a list that's connected to your Google account. The map will offer routes by air, foot, bike, and even by plane (with prices included!). Instead, you'll need to place one pin, make a note of the address or coordinates, then drop a second pin to use as your start point/destination. Sadly, there is no way to place two dropped pins and find directions between them. Unlike existing time-of-arrival techniques, PinPoint does not require an infrastructure of accurate clocks (e.g., GPS) nor does it incur the o(n2 ) message exchanges of echoing techniques.You can choose to use your dropped pin as a starting point or endpoint. PinPoint does not require any calibration of the area of interest and thus is rapidly deployable. PinPoint is a distributed algorithm that enables a set of n nodes to determine the RF propagation delays between every pair of nodes, from which the inter-node distances and hence the spatial topology can be readily determined. of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, MD 20740, USA ABSTRACT This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of the PinPoint location determination system. of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, MD 20740, USA Depart. of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, MD 20740, USA Ashok Agrawala Udaya Shankar Depart. of Computer Science University of Maryland College Park, MD 20740, USA Chuck Rieger AlphaTrek, Inc.
