The pin drop feature is stupid and insufficient
So Ive been using Uber for a long time now because its so convenient, but Im so tired of this one dumb feature of the app. Every time I try to use the pin drop feature to show drivers where Im at, they end up in weird locations around me but cant ever find me. Ive tried pinning on nearby streets and that hasnt helped. The way I understand it, the driver doesnt actually see the pins location, they just get directions to the nearest generated address, which of course may be significantly off. But it gives the user the idea that the pick up location is precise, which is false (and leads to avoidable frustration). The pin feature only makes sense when there are no nearby landmarks and when the roads are spread out. There needs to AT LEAST be the OPTION to be able to search for the pick up location via name or address. Sometimes all a driver needs to know is "Marriott" or "Target" and it clears up 99% of any confusion. PLEASE take this into consideration for the next updates.
