## What is PrimeMap?

PrimeMap shows you the places where other map apps stop.

No other app combines 4 million points of interest, 930,000 archaeological sites, 83,000 GeoCaches, 3 million restaurants and 15 million parking spots – in one app, in your language, free.

EXCITING THE MOMENT YOU OPEN IT
Selection of exciting places nearby — with photo, category and distance, right when you start. No blank map, no zoom-to-find-anything.

PrimeLens — YOUR PRIVATE CITY GUIDE
Hold up your phone — the new PrimeLens technology instantly shows names, categories and Wikipedia stories for every historical place around you. Live overlay in the camera view. Exclusive to PrimeMap.

PrimeCast — YOUR AUDIO CITY GUIDE
Headphones on, open the app, start walking. PrimeCast tells you automatically what's around you — no tapping, no route, no choices. In your language, wherever you are.

PrimeAsk — JUST ASK
Ask PrimeMap like a human — „castles in Bavaria", „what can I do with kids in Berlin", „pharmacy nearby". PrimeAsk understands your intent and finds matching places in our curated database. Nothing invented. In your language.

TOURS AT THE TAP OF A BUTTON
One tap creates a ready-made route — 4-5 stops with a narrated story for each place. Choose theme (castles, museums, churches, Lost Places, viewpoints…) and mode (Nearby on foot, Around by bike, Day trip by car). Different route? One tap does it.

PLACES OTHERS DON'T SHOW
Castles, forts, museums, ruins, monuments, churches, Lost Places, viewpoints – with Wikipedia images, descriptions and background info. Not tourist hotspots, but the history right outside your door.

930,000 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN EUROPE
Including 19,997 NHLE Scheduled Monuments in England and 140,429 sites from the Archaeological Survey of Ireland, plus 770,000 more across 8 other European countries. Rune stones, burial mounds, rock carvings, deserted villages, stone circles – from 13 national registers. Curated: only visible, worth-visiting sites. No other app has done this in such detail.

NO LANGUAGE BARRIER
Other apps only show what exists in your Wikipedia language. PrimeMap automatically translates POI descriptions, Wikipedia articles and GeoCaches – making places visible that would otherwise stay hidden behind language barriers.

GEOCACHES
Over 83,000 GeoCaches from the OpenCaching network. Log finds, compass, detail page – right in the app. No signup needed.

WIDGET & APPLE WATCH
Home screen widget in three sizes. Standalone Apple Watch app – works without an iPhone, while hiking, on holiday, on the go.

JOIN IN
You know places others miss. Submit new POIs, upload photos to existing entries, fill in missing descriptions or fix wrong categories – no signup. You make the map better.

WHO IT'S FOR
For travelers, hikers, history lovers, geocachers and anyone who wants to really know their surroundings.

Free to use. Ads removable with a one-time purchase – no subscription, no recurring costs.
