Pinterest is shaking up the idea of plotting out your dream destinations on a map.

The visual bookmarking tool is launching several updates to place pins on Tuesday, a feature first introduced in 2013 that lets you mark the location of a pinned place on the board’s map.

The update expands the details associated with each pin -- previously just address and phone number. Now, you can get directions to your place pin through Google Maps and Apple Maps, view the location's hours of operation and read top reviews from others who have visited. You can also see nearby places to visit and other pins saved by people who have the same sense of wanderlust.

The update will come to 7 billion pins, and future ones will receive the same treatment. It will only be available on iOS for now, but an Android and web update will launch in the future.

Here are the top top 20 pinned places, according to the company. You better get to work booking your flights.
