You can't use a dynamic map on WP.com unfortunately.

I'm currently experimenting with WordPress to see if if can be configured for use as a travel log that accumulates my locations on a map, for the duration of a trip.

I've found numerous descriptions of how to add a Google Map to my site - that 's not the question! I want to be able to add multiple location pins to to one map, rather than posting a new map every time I wan to show a new location.

The best way for this to work would be to manually set the location of each pin, not try and auto-detect from mobile phone location. That's because many locations will not have any signal. It would be necessary to upload some locations as a batch, at the next time connectivity is available. Or just log in an manually add them - I am not particular about how they get added.

This seems like a pretty simple thing to do and I'm reasonably confident it already exists, but just can't seem to find it using searches with the obvious keywords and phrases.

So I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

thanks
Colin

6. mark a post as sticky if you want it on the slider.

No, you don't have to have 6 posts. The slider can display up to 6 posts. Six is best, because then the thumbnails that show below the slider will cover the whole width, but the slider works even with one post only.

So to break it down you have to....

1. create a new page
2. change the "page attribution" to showcase template
3. go to settings > reading
4. select that page as the "static page"
5. make sure your posts have featured images that are over 750px wide
....and then, hypothetically, it should work?

Also, in order for this to work, do you already have to have 6 posts? I just started recently, so I only have three posts. They should probably make this a bit more intuitive. xD

The post you have you need to make "sticky" which is on the right hand side when you edit the post and then check that your image is over 750 wide and that should work :) let me know if it doesn't and we"ll troubleshoot some more

That would be what you will find information on out on the web. Take a look at the Oxygen theme page here and look under "Showcase page template" and it explains how to use the slider here. Sometimes theme features have to be changed from the original theme design due to the unique structure of this hosted platform.
