Pinterest Place Pins. Don’t even bother saying that five times fast. While a mouthful, Place Pins are a great feature added to Pinterest in November 2013 that let you turn your vacation boards into interactive maps.
Place Pins can be used to add a map to your scrapbook board from a trip, like I did with Peru 2013, or visualize your dream travel board in Take Me Here. Place Pins are powered by Foursquare, which may limit the destinations available for tagging. In other words, if the location is so remote it’s never been created on Foursquare, you may have trouble. Foursquare limitations aside, it’s still is a cool feature that will only be improved.
Turn your dream destination board into a map in the “Edit” section for an individual board. Next, toggle on the “Add a Map?” section and learn how to add locations to pins during a quick on-screen walk through.
I would love to follow your destination boards so please share them in the comments section below.
Happy pinning,
