Showplaces is a private map of the places worth going back to: the restaurant a friend swore by, the trailhead you found by accident, the overlook you want to show someone someday.
Saving one takes a second. Hold the map to drop a pin, search for a place, save the spot where you're standing, or share a place to Showplaces from Maps and other apps.
MAKE EVERY PLACE YOUR OWN
• Give it your own name and notes, and add photos
• Tag places however makes sense to you, with your own color and symbol for each tag. Your pins take your colors
• Gather places into groups, each with its own cover photo
• Find any place by name, tag or group
• Open a place you saved from Apple Maps back in Maps, for its hours, photos and directions
PLAN A DRIVE
• Plan a route between your places, and see which of your other places are near the way and how much time each one adds
• Mark overnight stops to see each day's driving
• Send the stops to Apple Maps for turn-by-turn directions
SHARE ON YOUR TERMS
• Send a Copy: a place or a whole group, theirs to keep
• Live: they follow along as you add and change places (Pro)
• Collaborate: plan a trip together in the same group (Pro)
• Links can expire, and you can turn off a link or stop sharing at any time
• Opening a share is always free
• Report or block anyone who shares with you
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• No account needed. Everything but backup, sync and sharing works without signing in
• Nothing is public. Only the people you share with see your places
• Location is used only while the app is open, and Showplaces never tracks where you go
• Analytics are anonymous and never tied to your account
• No ads
WHEREVER YOU ARE
• iPhone and iPad, each with a layout of its own
• Apple Watch: your map and places on your wrist, and Save Here for the spot you're standing on
• Widgets for your recent places, a group or a tag, plus Save Here in Control Center and on the Lock Screen
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Add a showplace in Showplaces", and your places in Spotlight
• Import from Contacts: add the addresses of the people you choose
• Tag suggestions from Apple Intelligence on supported devices, made on the device
SHOWPLACES PRO
A free account backs up 50 showplaces and 3 routes, with up to 3 photos per showplace. Pro adds:
• Backup and sync for every showplace and route, across all your devices
• Up to 20 photos per showplace
• Live and Collaborate sharing
Pro is a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription that belongs to your Showplaces account. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
If Pro ends, showplaces past your 50 most recent and routes past your 3 most recent become read-only in the cloud, and are removed from the cloud 30 days later unless you subscribe again. The copies already on your signed-in devices stay there.
