Share sync maps

Hi,

Im trying to find a very simple map app.
I need to be able to drop a pin, name it and save it. Add details too if poss.
I need to sync this map with friends and let them also drop pins.
All users need to be able to see all pins dropped.
This could be done by creating one map account and having all users log in using that account.
Or share and sync to each user.

I have tried google maps and google my maps, but they are not simple enough. It seems to be create map in my maps, save to drive, share via drive, open link in drive then view in maps!

I love maps.me but cant sync shares.
Ideally just need to open the map app and have all syncd pins there, or select layers by county/area.
Any simple ideas?
 
Hi,
Open Google maps in online
Select a location/ place
Long touch on that place
See the pin drops
Tap on the bottom of screen
( Drag the screen from bottom to top).
Tap on the save button.
Now this place is starred in all devices using the same google account.
You can see these places in all devices.
If not seeing
Restart the device/ re open google map.
Sometimes this places are stored in GPS coordinates
To edit these places
Open the link below
https://www.google.co.in/bookmarks/
See all of the stored places
Edit and tap on the save button.
 
Thanks, but we cant all use the same google account on a device. This would mean evryone having access to all google features, gmail, contacts etc.
