Guides March 14, 2023

1. Start the Google Maps app.

[{"selector":"#anim-2db23e90-3202-4ecf-b550-2391161432fd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(5.626757929112344%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d8bae391-d499-4923-a9d7-e53ab610fd41","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5be31f27-e9bd-48b3-8c5b-f672f436a4cc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(140.96915%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

2. Either look for the place’s address or move the map around until you find it.

[{"selector":"#anim-57ad81c0-cf5d-4fd3-8ddb-06379283fe98 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-1.9003378091365057%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3fea28ff-9756-447a-bf67-924da2729dee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8db6a662-346c-4858-8fee-5061eff5db7d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.57669%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

3. To drop a pin, press down on the screen for a while.
