7 billion Pins (and counting!) with places

Since we first launched place Pins, millions of travel-minded Pinners have added place info to their Pins.

Starting today, we're making it even easier to see your favourite spots on a map: now location info will be added to Pins automatically. That means almost 7 billion Pins will have helpful details such as phone numbers, addresses and shop opening hours. We’ve also built in some handy new extras.

Now each Pin includes a preview of where it lives on the map. Tap to get all of the details, including other Pins from that spot and tips from people who’ve been there. If you need to get in touch, just tap to make a call or to get directions from Google Maps or Apple Maps.

You can even discover places nearby that you might want to visit just by exploring the map. So let's say you’re planning a brunch outing. Now your Pin can help you find the perfect park to walk off those pancakes afterwards.

To give you a glimpse of all of the places you can visit, we’ve collected the top 20 places people have saved to Pinterest. We hope they inspire you to plan your own trip on Pinterest.

For now, these goodies are only available on iPhone and iPad. Look out for them on Android and the web in the near future.

Happy hiking!
