How to add landmark balloons on Android google map?

[Manipur]

Is there any way we can add balloons to add landmarks and edit our own location? It'll be really nice. So far I've tried but couldn't seem to add my own landmarks.

Yes, im also find the google maps app a pain. It lacks the drop pin function in iphone.

However here are the workaround steps you can do to make custom location points on your map. (you need google account)

1. Long press on the location, until a popup menu appears.
2. Press it will open a dialog, there should be a star, click to starred the location.
3. Now, to rename the location, go to www.google.com/bookmarks on your browser
(i use overskreen, so i can have maps app and the browser running at the same time)
4. All your starred location is there, click on edit and change to your custom name.
5. It takes awhile to sync on your device.
