What county am I in? Open County Names & Lines and the answer is on screen: your live U.S. county, address, coordinates, speed and county FIPS code, on a clean map. Road signs do not always tell you when you cross a county line. The app does. Driving Mode keeps the screen on, turns the map with you and says "Entering Butler County" at every line, and each county you pass through is added to your visited list automatically. WHO USES IT • Ham radio operators: county hunters and QSO-party mobiles and rovers keep the county on screen, hear each new county announced, and with Pro see how far the next county line is. Copy the county, FIPS code and coordinates into your log. • County collectors and road trippers: every county you drive through is logged, with milestones from your first county to your 100th. Add counties you visited before, then share an image of your count. • Field work and jurisdiction checks: the county and FIPS code for where you are standing, or for any U.S. address. • Anyone who just needs a fast answer to "what county is this?" FREE FEATURES • Your current county, address, coordinates and speed (mph or km/h) • County FIPS codes when available • Driving Mode with spoken county-line announcements • A banner at every county crossing while the app is open • Search U.S. addresses and see their county • Long-press the map to drop a point and check its county • Copy or share your county, address, coordinates and FIPS details • Automatic visited-county tracking, plus counties you add by search • Share an image of the counties you've visited • Map styles for easier navigation COUNTY LINES PRO • County boundary lines drawn on the live map • Standard boundaries, or coastal boundaries that extend 3 nautical miles offshore • Large county name labels across the map • In Driving Mode, the distance to the next county line ahead • Search more than 3,000 U.S. counties by name or FIPS code • A map of every county you have visited, also on your shared image • Boundary data is stored on your iPhone, so the lines still show where cell service is weak (the base map itself needs a connection) County Names & Lines covers the United States and its territories. Crossing announcements and banners work while the app is open; it does not send background notifications. County Lines Pro is available as an auto-renewing weekly, monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
