Drop a pin on the exact spot that matters — the trailhead, the right building entrance, the friend's driveway, the parking space you'll never find again — and Location Fix remembers it for you. Maps send you to an address. Location Fix saves the *place*: the precise coordinate you choose, with a name, a photo, notes, and a subject so you can find it again in seconds and get routed straight there. Everything is built around getting you back to the right place fast: check the live weather at a spot before you head out, drop a pin or get directions hands-free with Siri, and keep every fix in sync across your iPhone and iPad with iCloud — in a clean, modern design available in seven languages. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Place a pin anywhere on the map with a tap to save your exact location. • Add rich detail to any spot — name, address, photo, notes, and a subject. • Check live weather at a saved location before you head out. • Get directions with your favorite app: Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Tesla, or Rivian. • Share a location and its details with anyone. • Organize everything by subject, with collapsible groups and quick search. • Drop pins and navigate hands-free with Siri and Shortcuts. • Keep it all in sync across your iPhone and iPad with iCloud. WHY LOCATION FIX Addresses aren't always enough. The pin a mapping app drops can land you at the back of the building, the wrong gate, or a road you can't reach. Location Fix lets you mark the spot that's actually right — once — and return to it every time. Save your places. Find them again. Get there.
