Saving a Searched Location as a Data Point

Searching navigates the map to a location — it does not automatically create a marker or dataset. To save the location as a point you can work with:

  1. Search for the location and let the map zoom in.
  2. Select the Point drawing tool (P) from the bottom toolbar.
  3. Click the map to place a marker at the exact spot.

The point is added to a new layer you can name, style, and export. For the full set of drawing options, see Drawing Tools.
