HOW IT WORKS

Three ways to remember a place.

Save where you are, search for somewhere you’re going, or choose an exact point on the map.

01

Mark where you are

Standing somewhere you want to find again? Save your current GPS location in seconds.

02

Search ahead

Plan tomorrow before you leave. Search for a hotel, landmark, pub or destination and save it.

03

Choose on the map

Pan, zoom and tap the exact spot — ideal when there isn’t a useful street address.

A COMPASS WITH A PURPOSE

Know where you’re heading.
And where you should be.

PlacePoint’s compass shows both. As you turn, the compass moves naturally and the yellow destination marker tells you where your saved place is.

SEE THE PLACE, NOT JUST THE ROAD

Standard. Satellite. Hybrid.

Switch map styles when choosing or reviewing a PlacePoint. Satellite imagery is especially useful for parks, trails, fields and locations that don’t fit neatly on a street map.

iCloud sync

Save places on one device and keep them available across your devices. Your active destination stays specific to the device you’re using.

▤

Trips & Collections

Group destinations for a vacation, a weekend, a survey site or whatever makes sense to you.

✎

Notes

Add context such as “camera on large maple,” “side entrance,” or anything you’ll need when you return.

⇧

Share a PlacePoint

Send a saved location to someone else using the standard share sheet.

↕

Find what’s nearest

Sort saved places by nearest, name or most recent — useful when your list starts to grow.

↩

Find your way back

Save your starting point before you wander, then let PlacePoint guide you back later.

BEYOND THE CITY

Built for places without addresses.

PlacePoint is just as comfortable in a forest as it is on a city street. Ecologists and field teams can mark wildlife cameras, bat houses, survey points, equipment or other locations that need to be found again later.

No road required. Save the coordinates, add a useful note, and let the compass point the way back.
