Drop Pin QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Drop Pin supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
One-click pin dropping tool (Google Earth Pro style).
About
Drop POI pins on the map with a single click, like in Google Earth Pro. Pins go into a temporary "Dropped Pins" layer (WGS84, with id, label, lat and lon attributes) that can later be saved as a permanent shapefile. Left-click drops a pin, double-click edits its coordinates, right-click deletes it and Esc stops the tool. Pins can also be added by typing latitude/longitude.
