Places2Go is your travel wishlist on a map. Collect the places you want to visit, plan when to go, and let Places2Go tell you when one of them is just around the corner. SAVE PLACES FROM ANYWHERE • Share a place straight from Apple Maps, Google Maps, TripAdvisor, Airbnb, OpenTable or the Michelin Guide — Places2Go reads the name, address and location for you. • Tap any point of interest on the map, search, long-press anywhere, or save the spot where you are standing. • Paste or drop a link on the Mac. • Places2Go notices when you already have a place, so your list stays tidy. ORGANISE IT YOUR WAY • Your own categories, as deep as you like: Food › Café › Roastery. • Pick a symbol and a colour for each — they become the pins on your map. • Mark favourites and rate how interested you are. • Filter the map by category, rating, trip, favourites or visited. PLAN YOUR TRIPS • Group places into trips and plan them day by day, in the local time zone. • Drag stops into order within a day. • Add planned visits to your calendar with one tap. • Get directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Citymapper, Yandex Navigator or Organic Maps. KNOW WHAT IS NEAR YOU • The map shows which of your places are closest to where you are. • Turn on nearby alerts and Places2Go lets you know when you are passing somewhere you wanted to go — your planned places first, then your favourites. • A home screen widget shows your nearest places, up to the distance you choose. REMEMBER WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN • Mark places visited — now or at any date in the past — and keep a visit history. • See the photos from your library that you took at a place or during a visit. Nothing is copied or uploaded. ON YOUR WRIST AND ON YOUR DESK • Apple Watch: your nearest places, directions and "mark visited", even when your iPhone is at home. • Mac: plan trips on the big screen.
