Save the places you love. Share a map that stays current. Build a personal map of favorite cafés, weekend plans and places worth coming back to. Share the places you choose with a link, or follow a friend's map right alongside your own. SHARE ONCE, KEEP IT CURRENT Choose "Share and keep updated" to create a link that follows your edits. Add a place, change a note or remove a spot, and anyone who opens the link sees the latest version. They can explore it without installing Nemo. You pick which places go out, and you can stop sharing anytime. FOLLOW A FRIEND'S MAP Keep a friend's shared map on yours. Their places appear next to your own, clearly marked, and refresh as they make changes. Get directions, or save your own copy of the ones you love. SAVE A PLACE IN SECONDS Long-press anywhere on the map to save a place. Add a name, notes and an emoji category: coffee, parks, bookstores, date spots, or whatever matters to you. FIND YOUR NEXT STOP The Visible places list shows how far each place is from you. Nothing saved in view? "Show nearest saved place" takes you to the closest one. Long-press a place in the list for Directions. On iPad in landscape and on the Mac, keep the list pinned as a sidebar that follows the map while you explore. PLANS THAT EXPIRE Give a place an expiration date for pop-ups, festivals or weekly markets. An orange clock badge marks it until it expires and hides on its own. PHOTOS FROM THIS PLACE Open a saved place to see photos you took nearby, from your own Photos library. Photos stay on your device and are never included in shared maps. SEND A COPY, TOO Send a snapshot link that anyone can explore or forward. Friends who use Nemo can save a copy of your places to their own map.
