What are pushpins?
Pushpins are handy for remembering places you want to visit, getting directions, or
sharing location info. They're automatically shown on the map when you search for
places. You can also manually add a pushpin.
When you tap a pushpin for a store, restaurant, or other point of interest, the about
screen opens and displays additional info, such as the street address, directions,
phone number, hours, web address, and customer reviews. You can choose what to
do with the location info, such as pin to your Start screen, add to your favorites, or
share it.
