I don't know about the  android version, but on the PC version you can 
add pins to identify a specific location.

On the PC version of Google Earth Pro, you can determine the longitude 
and latitude to six decimal places or get good numbers for location 
about 300 feet apart.  This 300 feet was calculated by zooming Google 
Earth to its maximum and reading the coordinates of each location.
