Stop losing the exact spot you meant to remember. Save places in seconds, get back to them later, and turn your map into a personal list of pins, visits, reminders, and trip records. WHAT'S INSIDE - Save here stores your current location as a place, so you can keep a pin the moment you arrive. - Long-press the map to drop a temporary pin, then choose Save place or Copy coordinates. - Search for an address or place name, paste coordinates, then jump to it or jump and save it. - Switch between Standard, Hybrid, and Satellite map views to see places the way you prefer. - Use the compass, scale, pitch toggle, and center on my location control for quicker map browsing. - See your nearest saved place at the top of the map with distance and a direction arrow. - Organize saved places with collections, tags, favorites, visited status, and marker colors. - Search your place list by name, note, address, or category, then filter by Favorites, To visit, or Visited. - Sort places by Newest or Name, and use category chips and Smart Collection chips for one-tap narrowing. - Add visit check-ins with notes, attach photos, and keep a timeline for each place. - Open a saved place in Apple Maps for driving directions, share an Apple Maps link, or copy coordinates. - Set arrival or departure reminders for a saved place, so your phone can alert you when you get near. - Export a full backup of your places and restore it later with Replace or Merge. - Use Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets to see your nearest place, saved counts, and a quick Save here action. PERFECT FOR Save a trailhead before you lose cell service, keep a parking spot handy for the walk back, remember campsites and scenic overlooks, or build a running list of cafes, shops, fuel stops, and places to try. If you travel often, the History timeline helps you turn recent location pings into saved places, and Trip Mode records your route while distance and duration stay visible on the map. THE DIFFERENCE Location: GPS Maps Save Places helps you save, organize, and revisit important spots without needing an account or a computer. Your data stays on your device, and each place keeps a map snapshot so the detail screen can still show the saved area when you have no signal. Small details make everyday use easier too: search can prefill a place name and category, place clustering keeps crowded maps readable, and swipe-to-delete includes Undo when you remove the wrong pins. Paid features Upgrade to Pro for unlimited place reminders with custom messages, Time-Sensitive alerts, Trip Mode with route sharing, Smart Collections, extra marker icons and colors, private links, PDF map booklets, and an ad-free experience. Location access is needed to save your current spot, show distance and direction, record trips, and send place reminders. Start saving places you want to remember, whether it is one parking spot today or a whole map of favorite locations over time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Card Map at none against Location's 3. Card Map also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
