Is there a Cellphone App that allows you to drop multiple pins on a city map?
I want to see a map of three adjoining arrondisements in Paris and drop pins on places within these arrondisements to get a sense of where they are in relation to one another. .
With Google "My Maps" you can drop as many pins as you want on the map you create, give them a name, add comments and photos, draw lines or shapes, create walking or driving routes, etc.
Google Maps is an obvious choice for boots on the ground usage, immediate directions, and instant reviews. However, it can get pretty cluttered when you pin everything on the Map.
Wanderlog is an excellent free trip planning app which uses Google Map as its base. With Wanderlog, I can drop pins on a particular day and optimize the route to visit each. Each different day's pins are layered in the map, so I can choose which day to view, thereby hiding the clutter of the other pins from the other days in the itinerary.
I like Here We Go maps for this. I make a collection either for the whole city, or for some neighborhoods, or for categories (like "cafes" or "museums" ).
I use "Organic Maps", which I learned about on this forum. It doesn't need an internet connection, you just download the maps for the geographic areas you need, when you have wifi. I drop pins all over my maps. It doesn't have as much info as Google Maps, but it does what I need.
I agree that Wanderlog is a good choice, but if you're simply looking for a map to place pins on, then I would second JoLui's rec for Google My Maps. Keep in mind this is different from Google Maps. My Maps allows you to create custom maps on top of Google Maps, and add pins, draw lines and shapes and so on. It's a very fun tool. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/
Thanks to everyone who responded. I am using Google My Maps and think I have what I need.
HAPPY TRAVELS!
