Personal DIY Digital Maps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Create a Map of Your Favorite Places With the Pin Drop App

— January 13, 2012 — World
Everyone has a stored mental list of their favorite places to eat, shop and hang out, but now the process of remembering your favorite places becomes a piece of cake with the Pin Drop app.

The Pin Drop app, a free app created by Caffeinehit, allows you to drop "pins" using your iPhone or the Pin Drop website on a map of places that you like to visit. It also lets you organize those places easily through the use of color-coded categories or by distance or when you dropped the pin. In addition to organizing your favorite hang-outs for you, it lets you search for places and share them with your friends.

Finally, as TechNewsDaily points out, one of the good things about the Pin Drop app is that your lists and places are all private, meaning you won't have to fear others cyber-stalking you.
Trend Themes
1. Personal Maps - Apps and services that allow users to create personalized maps of their favorite places with ease and organization
2. Digital Memory Keeping - The trend of using digital tools to collect and curate moments and locations that are personally meaningful
3. Privacy-first Mapping - Mapping tools that prioritize user privacy by keeping personal information and location data secure
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - The Pin Drop app and other personalized mapping tools have the potential to disrupt traditional travel guides and allow for more authentic and customized travel experiences
2. Retail - Retail companies can use personalized mapping tools like Pin Drop to curate and share store locations and offer personalized recommendations to customers
3. Memory Keeping and Scrapbooking - The personal mapping trend overlaps with the memory keeping industry and could lead to the development of new digital tools and services to help users curate and display their personal maps
