NearSite is the easiest way to keep track of the places that matter to you and instantly find which of them is closest to a specified location. Whether you're planning a trip across town, deciding which of your stores or offices to visit next, or just want to know which friend's house is the shortest drive away, NearSite gives you the answer in a tap. What You Can Do NearSite works with three kinds of inputs: a typed address (with autocomplete), supplied GPS coordinates, or your device's current location. Use any of them to: • Save a place and give it a name you'll remember. • Provide any location to instantly see which of your saved places is closest to it. • See results sorted by distance or alphabetically. • Switch between miles and kilometers. • Choose how many top results to show - from 1 to 100. Designed for Privacy NearSite was built with a focus on privacy. • Your saved addresses live only on your device. • Your current location, when you choose to use it, is used to calculate distances and is never stored or transmitted. • No analytics, no advertising, no third-party tracking. • No annoying accounts or sign-ups required. Accessibility NearSite was developed with accessibility in mind from the start. • VoiceOver works throughout. • Audio feedback is provided when your current location is captured. • Search results are announced when they appear. • Proper labels are used to facilitate rotor navigation.
