Is a map pin the same as collecting permission?

No. A map pin answers a navigation or geographic-context question. The status and evidence answer the permission question. Exact coordinates, public destination addresses and approximate county or regional context are deliberately kept separate so geographic precision is not confused with legal authority.

Field-use reminder: never infer collecting rights from proximity, a map marker or a geological occurrence. Verify the exact place, manager, current rule and collecting activity before removing material.
