What is the English word for map indicator?

What is

as the English word for red “sticky” markers with letter and a letter? Google seems to use, well, marker, but I wonder if that’s too technology-related (like, say, pointer?).

If I want to use a word that applies to red markers on the map above, but also to real world objects like this, I need a word that applies to a point with a pin, that can be positioned by the arrow in some direction in the map without having the full name.

What is the best pin which pinpoint is?

What is the best word choice to make a balloon pointer or ” balloon mark’?

I like to say ‘let go of the rules.’ If I did that

it would be simple and uncomplicated.

It’s the ‘Google Maps pin’ an “eardrop-shaped marker icon

including a shadow” which is part

of its description found in the patent for the very thing you ask about. In Wikipedia, pin it in Google Maps.

Oops, but the article says “Google

Maps Pin” has been called “a product of pure function that has evolved into a cultural phenomenon”, which assuages

my predilection by more to its function than its name. At least now I know what to call it, as before I was thinking just to say “red bubble thingy” or “red balloony thingy”.

What is a pushpin than a map pin? It’s a generic term than

map

pin (which I wouldn’t use) and more pleasing than any such overlong term as Location indicator, Position locator, etc.

The red balloony GPS position-location marker thingy I got and sent a virtual teardrop with a real tear drop would seem to work. I

find it very interesting, but if I want to do something about it, why don’t you suggest?

Google themselves offer location information using a pin to select

locations. The red bubbles are location indicators or location tags acting as locators to mark geographic points.

If the’map’ you just find is the key word for the red bubbles.

Each locator on the map points to a location or place of interest.

I think the phrase “indicating balloon” is okay because the indicator is completely like a balloon (balloon shaped).
