A map marker is a symbol or icon placed on a map to indicate a specific location.
Digital maps use markers to show points of interest, destinations, or saved places—the familiar teardrop-shaped pin being the most common: Drop a map marker where we should meet.
Physical maps use similar conventions with pushpins or drawn symbols.
