## What is MapInk?

MapInk turns your iPhone and iPad into a map canvas for planning trips, marking places, and capturing handwritten notes exactly where they belong.

Search for a place or address, drop pins, and sketch routes with Apple Pencil or your finger. Connect your pins into a Journey to drive, walk or fly between stops, and check the weather for every stop along the way. When you want to explain or remember a place, write directly on the map and share a snapshot.

Plan a Journey
- Connect your pins into a Journey and reorder stops anytime
- Choose Drive, Walk or Fly for each leg; flights are drawn as arcs across the map
- See the distance and travel time of every leg

Weather for your trip
- Add your travel dates to see the forecast at each stop
- Choose Flexible dates to compare typical weather month by month
- See rain, daylight and a typical-day temperature curve for any month
- Turn weather off in Preferences if you don't need it

Draw on the map
- Sketch freehand lines and see their distances
- Drive and Walk lines follow the roads through the corners you draw
- Rest your pencil on the end of a line to keep drawing it
- Erase whole lines or just part of one
- Name your routes, group them, and give each Project its own colors

Notes and projects
- Drop titled pins with notes for stops, landmarks, ideas and meeting points
- Write handwritten notes on the map with Apple Pencil or your finger
- Save projects with lines, pins and notes together, and reopen them later
- Switch between standard, hybrid and satellite map styles
- Share annotated map images, with your Journey included

Try MapInk free with up to five items on the map, then unlock unlimited items forever with a one-time purchase.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-10-03*

This is literally the only app on the market I was able to use that actually works. While the app has very minimal use without paying for the full version it’s worth it if you need to draw detailed routes. I’m sure with future updates the app will only get better from here

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this kind review! More updates are coming soon with Weather and better planning!
