## What is PinPoints Trip & Route Planner?

PinPoints – Distance & Trip Planner

Do you want to know the distance to the South Pole? Are you planning your next trip and want to save the places you’d like to visit, while also knowing the distance in between them? Or are you simply curious about the distance between two cities? With PinPoints, you’re on the right track.

PinPoints enables you to measure quickly and easily the distance between any two or more points. You can calculate both the beeline distance and the driving route, making this app the perfect navigation companion — whether for private or professional use.

Features
* Five ways to set locations: current position, map selection, address, contact, or favorite
* Add and measure any number of points in one trip
* Save favorite places for quick access anytime
* Organize trips and points with personal tags
* Navigation between two points with instant calculation
* Visualize beeline or car route directly on the map
* Save, name, and edit your trips in history
* Offline memory for trips on the go
* Distances shown in miles or kilometers
* Simple, intuitive, and clean design

Flexible Location Selection
Choose your current location, tap anywhere on the map, enter an address, pick a contact from your phone, or select one of your saved favorites. PinPoints gives you maximum flexibility in how you set your points.

Unlimited Points & Smart Routing
It doesn’t matter how many points you choose. PinPoints calculates every single route between them, and you can rearrange or edit your trip at any time.

Favorites & Tags
Save your favorite locations for quick reuse, whether it’s home, work, or your next travel destination. Use custom tags to organize trips and points into categories — like “vacation,” “business,” or “dream trip.”

Trip History & Management
All your planned routes are saved in the history, where you can name, reorder, or delete them as needed. Your history gives you a complete overview of your past trips.

Beeline or Driving Route
Choose whether you want to see the direct line between locations or the actual driving route. Both are visualized instantly on the map.

Units & Accessibility
View your data in kilometers or miles depending on your preference. The interface is designed to be clean and easy to use, making navigation fast and enjoyable.

Simple & Intuitive
PinPoints is designed to minimize effort: just a few taps separate you from your desired route, which is shown instantly on the map.
If you have suggestions, feedback, or encounter any issues, please send us an email via the app’s settings. We’re happy to hear from you.

### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreich für Vielfahrer

*2026-07-15*

Nach anfänglichen Irritationen, die super schnell und freundlich vom Entwickler gelöst wurden, ist die App für Vielfahrer und Reisende sehr hilfreich. Auch das Zusammenspiel mit den Apple Maps ist top. Für mich ist es die 14,99 pro Jahr wert.

**Developer response:** Danke dir, das freut mich wirklich zu lesen. Schön, dass sich die anfänglichen Irritationen so schnell klären ließen und dass dir das Zusammenspiel mit Apple Maps und der Nutzen für Vielfahrer und Reisen so gut gefallen. Das bedeutet mir viel. Dennis

### 5/5 — Pinpoints

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.1*

I used to use pinpoints a lot back in the early days. 

For a while it sat on the back burner because I had found a couple of other programmes that suited me more at that time. 

I recently opened pinpoints up again because of a family discussion and was blown away at how much this app has improved in the intervening period. 

Wow. 

It has become my go to app for all my trip planning as it is so much more logical and easier to use than the competition that I had been using. 

Again, thank you for an excellent, easy to use programme that looks good and performs a task that useful for me.

### 5/5 — Spitze

*2026-05-31*

Hat sich super entwickelt. Bin rundum zufrieden. Tolle App. Für Reisebegeisterte und Zahlen/Distanzfreaks ein mega Tool. 

Sehr hilfreich. Schöne Spielerei und manchmal eine echte Hilfe. Leider gibt es immer noch einen Bug: die Distanz zwischen zwei Orten wird immer in Meilen angezeigt. Auch bei KM Einstellungen. In der Geamtübersicjt ist es korrekt. Aber in der Top->Down Liste falsch.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und die netten Worte 🙏! Es freut mich sehr, dass du die App hilfreich findest. Deinen Hinweis zum Bug mit der Distanzdarstellung (Meilen statt Kilometer in der Top-Down-Liste) nehme ich ernst – ich schaue mir das an, damit die Anzeige auch dort korrekt ist. Danke, dass du mich darauf aufmerksam gemacht hast 🚀.

### 3/5 — There is bug

*2026-05-17*

The calculated bike time between two locations is not accurate. I use Apple map with same points and got very different total time.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Could you maybe get in contact with me via app-support@donner.io and I will look into it. Will fix it then asap!

### 5/5 — Ideale Reisevorbereitung

*2025-12-16*

Egal ob Reise oder ein paar Gebrauchtwarenkäufe…damit ist man bestens vorbereitet, da Apple Maps/Google Maps die Route schnell vergessen wenn man zwischendurch pausiert.

Bei der Übergabe an Apple Maps werden die Standorte als „unbekannter Ort“ übertragen, vielleicht kann das noch behoben werden zur besseren Übersicht

**Developer response:** Danke dir — genau für solche Reise- und Zwischenstoppsituationen habe ich die App gebaut. Den Hinweis mit „unbekannter Ort“ bei der Übergabe an Apple Maps nehme ich mit; das ist ein guter Punkt für die Übersicht. — Dennis

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-10-21, version 4.7.1*

Super gutes Tool zum berechnen von Entfernung - völlig egal ob Fahrstrecke oder Luftlinie. 

Einfach super!

*2025-08-17, version 4.1*

Sehr hilfreich. Schöne Spielerei und manchmal eine echte Hilfe. Leider gibt es immer noch einen Bug: die Distanz zwischen zwei Orten wird immer in Meilen angezeigt. Auch bei KM Einstellungen. In der Geamtübersicjt ist es korrekt. Aber in der Top->Down Liste falsch.

### 1/5 — Make more user-friendly
