Google Maps – How to Save a Coordinate into a Marker

google maps

I've marked the exact point of a place which I want to save and Google displays the coordinates properly:

Maps

Is there a way I can save it into a marker to share or access it later?

There are a number of options, depending on what you want to do. Try any one of these:

  1. You could just put your coordinates into a URL, like this:

    https://www.google.com/maps/place/21°31'01.4"N+100°49'43.4"W/

  2. If you use Google+, you can use the "Share" option and share it to a Circle that contains just yourself.

  3. Click the "Gear" icon in the lower right, choose "Share and embed map" and you can get a URL that you can share and/or the iframe code to embed the map somewhere.

  4. Go to "My Places" where you should see a recent history of the locations you've used. Click the star next to your coordinates. Now you'll be able to see it under "My Places" > "Starred"

  5. Click the pointer, and in the information box that pops up, click the star. This will leave a star on your map you can get back to any time.

  6. Under "My Places", choose "Create Map". This launches Google Maps Engine Lite, which lets you create overlays on maps and save them.
