Location Fix vs The Location App

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.

The Location App is a simple application that displays your location on a map, but more importantly, display the actual location data; i.e. GPS coordinates, closest address, What3Words identifier and Google Plus Code. This is a great app for anyone who just needs that type of location information quickly. The Location App also lets you tap on your location identifiers to rapidly share the selected location data with anyone using a typical share sheet that includes sharing by text message, email, etc. The recipient taps on the sent link and your location will appear on Google or Apple maps, or in the What3Words App. You can also use The Location App to search for a specific address, lat/long pair, location name, a specific Plus Code or a What 3 Words code. If the search term is located, pins will be place on the map and you can tap on a pin to get all of the location information for that pin. Optionally, you can then open the item in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
