PrimeMap shows you the places where other map apps stop. No other app combines 4 million points of interest, 930,000 archaeological sites, 83,000 GeoCaches, 3 million restaurants and 15 million parking spots – in one app, in your language, free. EXCITING FROM THE MOMENT YOU OPEN IT A selection of exciting places nearby – with photo, category and distance, right when you start. No blank map, no zooming around to find anything. PrimeLens – YOUR PRIVATE CITY GUIDE Hold up your phone – PrimeLens instantly shows names, categories and Wikipedia stories for every historical place around you. Live overlay in the camera view. Exclusive to PrimeMap. PrimeCast – YOUR AUDIO CITY GUIDE Headphones on, open the app, start walking. PrimeCast automatically tells you what's around you – no tapping, no route, no choices. Keeps going with your phone in your pocket and the screen locked. In your language, wherever you are. PrimeAsk – JUST ASK Ask PrimeMap like a human – "castles in Bavaria", "what can I do with kids in Berlin?", "pharmacy nearby". PrimeAsk understands your intent and finds matching places in our curated database. Nothing invented. In your language. TOURS AT THE TAP OF A BUTTON One tap creates a ready-made route – 4–5 stops with a narrated story for each place. Choose a theme (castles, museums, churches, Lost Places, viewpoints…) and a mode (nearby on foot, around by bike, day trip by car). Different route? One tap does it. Or plan a trip from A to B by car or bike and see what's worth a stop along the way. NEW: ACTIVITIES ON THE MAP Bathing spots, beaches, swimming pools, cinemas, mini golf, zoos, campsites, libraries and more – 18 types, over 390,000 places across Europe, the Americas and Oceania. With live opening status, website and navigation to get there. Switch each one on in the filter. And PrimeAsk finds them too: "Where can I go swimming?" PLACES OTHERS DON'T SHOW Castles, forts, museums, ruins, monuments, churches, Lost Places, viewpoints – with Wikipedia images, descriptions and background info. Not tourist hotspots, but the history right outside your door. 930,000 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN EUROPE Rune stones, burial mounds, rock carvings, deserted villages, stone circles – from 13 national registers. Curated: only visible sites worth a visit. No other app has done this in such detail. NO LANGUAGE BARRIER Other apps only show what exists in your Wikipedia language. PrimeMap automatically translates POI descriptions, Wikipedia articles and GeoCaches – making places visible that would otherwise stay hidden behind language barriers. GEOCACHES Over 83,000 GeoCaches from the OpenCaching network. Log finds, compass, detail page – right in the app. No signup needed. VISITED & OPEN NOW Tick off the places you've been and watch your count of places and countries grow. And see at a glance whether a place is open right now. WIDGET & APPLE WATCH Home screen widget in three sizes. Standalone Apple Watch app – works without an iPhone, while hiking, on holiday, on the go. JOIN IN You know places others miss. Submit new POIs, upload photos to existing entries, fill in missing descriptions or fix wrong categories – no signup. You make the map better. WHO IT'S FOR For travellers, hikers, history lovers, geocachers and anyone who wants to really know their surroundings. Free to use. Ads removable with a one-time purchase – no subscription, no recurring costs.
