Like using Pinterest? Let your followers know where you are by pinning maps to your Pinboards! You can pin your business location, event locations, or places you're going to visit in order to let your fans know beforehand when and where you're going to be! This strategy can help you get more reach, especially with locals from your area of business. Google and Bing don't let you Pin a map location, but that shouldn't stop you from telling people where you are!
How to Pin a map to Pinterest?
Google and Bing maps are two most popular ways to see maps and locate places, so we’ll be using one of these two services to pin places on Pinterest. So, lets pin a map!The pin image will be the map extracted from the map site (i.e. Google or Bing). The two sites don’t have a pin-it button on them, so stop searching for that – we’ll be making use of Pinterest bookmarklet.
1. Install the Pinterest bookmarklet, open the map (I’ve used Google Maps here), locate your position and click the bookmarklet.

2. Clicking the bookmarklet will pop an image grid, just choose the right map image from there, and pin it to any of your desired board.

3. We can see that our pinned map doesn’t have the link to our map, and we want it to get linked to the map so that other people can see it in real time. So, lets quickly add the map link to it: click on your pin to view it full, again click on the pencil icon at the bottom of your pin. Now, put the map link in the source text box and save.
