<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
I have never used the pin plugin but I imagine the pins would be saved in the project file??? Try adding a pin and then save the project. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The best way is probably to add a new vector point layer. When you create a shapefile layer, you will be ask if the layer contains points, lines or polygons. (Select points). Then, you will need to add a new Field (column) for text. You can then load that layer into any project and change the layer properties to have labels (select the text field) or to change the point style. </p>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>I need help to understand how to add a set of points to my map. I have a good looking base map where I have areas delineated and I need to associate points within each area. These need to be small pin points that can have info connected to each one that pertains to that pin. And able to be viewed by clicking on the pin or at a close zoom can show directly over the point.<br /><br /></div>I have tried the Place a Pin plugin but it seems to be beyond me at this time as to how to get it to work as I need it to. The info on the plugin said that it could be saved on exit, but I could not find a way to save it before exit and when I closed Qgis it lost the point layer.<br /><br /></div>HELP!!<br /><br /></div>Thanks in advance for any help and guidance!<br /><br /></div>Chuck<br /></div>
