Find Me is a simple GPS coordinates finder. Open the app and it reads your current latitude and longitude straight from your phone's GPS, in decimal degrees, on one clean screen. No sign-up, no account, no clutter. If you have ever needed to find your coordinates and read them out loud, text them to someone, or drop them into another app, this does exactly that and nothing you do not need. What Find Me does: - Shows your current GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude in decimal degrees) - Shows your street address from those coordinates - Copies your coordinates to the clipboard with one tap - Shares your location as text plus a map link - Opens your coordinates in your maps app for directions It works as a quick coordinate locator when you are hiking, meeting someone in a large parking lot, marking a spot to come back to, or reporting exactly where you are. Get your coordinates, copy them, share them, done. Find your GPS coordinates without digging through menus. The whole thing is one screen, so the numbers you came for are the first thing you see. Note: Find Me needs location permission to read GPS coordinates from your device. It does not track you in the background or store your location anywhere.

Pathnote

The walk you took, drawn on a map. Pathnote records your route only between the moment you tap Start and the moment you tap Stop. It never looks at your location in between. Keep what you want to keep, without being watched the rest of the time. Records only while you say so One button starts the recording and opens the map. It keeps going with the screen off or while you use another app. Pause, and the distance you cover meanwhile is not counted. See how you travelled Walking, cycling and vehicles are told apart automatically and drawn in different colours. Two kilometres on foot, the rest by train, at a glance. Pins where you stayed a while Time spent standing still is worked out and pinned on the map. Nothing to tap, the places you stopped at are simply there afterwards. Your regular places, mapped Every recording is pooled to show the places you go often, sized by how long you spend there. Your everyday map, drawn by itself. Photos stay where you took them Photos taken during a recording are pinned at the spot they were taken. You can also keep a photo without recording a route, and browse every photo on a map. Control it from Apple Watch Start, pause and stop from your wrist with the iPhone still in your pocket. Distance and elapsed time show on the Watch too. Start from the Lock Screen Begin a recording without opening the app, from a Lock Screen control, Control Center, or the Action button. While recording, elapsed time and distance appear on the Lock Screen. Your data stays on your device Recordings and photos live only on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. No analytics, no advertising. Pathnote Pro (one-time purchase) - Unlimited photos per recording (a few per recording when free) - Back up and restore everything - Export as GPX or JSON to hand to other apps There is no limit on how many recordings you keep. Recording itself is never restricted. Step counts need permission for Motion & Fitness. The same permission improves how accurately travel modes are identified. Location is requested as "Always" so a recording survives the screen turning off. Your location is never read while you are not recording.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pathnote at none against Find Me's 1. Pathnote also leads on ads (none vs shown). Find Me's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
