Bring your contacts and places onto one map. iMap helps you plan visits, find nearby contacts, organize routes, and keep notes about the places that matter to you. MAP YOUR CONTACTS Choose address-book contacts or import a .imap, CSV, or GeoJSON file. View pins on the map, browse a list, and filter the information you want to see.

PLAN YOUR VISITS Build a route from selected pins, arrange stops, preview the plan, and save it for later. Open each leg in Apple Maps for navigation. KEEP CONTEXT WITH EACH PLACE Add field notes, photos, and voice notes to pins so details from a visit stay with the location. RECORD YOUR TRAILS Record a GPS breadcrumb trail, review its path and distance, and share a saved trail as an iMap file or CSV. FIND PLACES NEARBY Search for useful places around a pin or starting point, and use the Location Planner to organize places before you visit. YOUR DATA AND PERMISSIONS Your saved iMap data stays on your device and can be exported or backed up. Apple services provide maps, address lookup, directions, and supported speech recognition. Contacts, location, camera, photos, microphone, and speech permissions are used for the features you choose. No iMap account is required. Designed for iPhone and iPad. Location-based features require location access; maps, searches, address lookup, and directions require a network connection. Continued GPS use in the background can reduce battery life.
