Trip Saver is for journeys with more than one destination. Enter your stops at home — deliveries, viewings, visits, errands — put them in the right order, and when it's time to drive, hand the whole route to Apple Maps or Google Maps, starting from any stop you choose. PLAN • Search for any address, business or landmark, and check the pin on a map before adding it • Reorder stops with a drag, insert a new stop exactly where you need it, delete one or many at once • Give each stop your own name — "First drop", "Grandma's house" — and add notes • Duplicate a trip to try changes without disturbing the original DRIVE • Start the trip from any stop in the list — tap and go • Turn-by-turn GPS navigation runs in Apple Maps or Google Maps, so the directions, traffic and voice guidance are the ones you already trust — on the phone and on CarPlay • Long trip? Trip Saver splits it into evenly sized legs the Maps apps can handle, and offers you the next leg when you come back SAVE AND SHARE • Every trip stays saved on your device, ready for next week or next year • Export any trip as a file — back it up, AirDrop it, or email it to another Trip Saver user, who opens it with one tap PRIVATE BY DESIGN Trip Saver collects no data and never tracks you — it has no access to your location at all. Your trips stay on your device unless you choose to share them. FREE, THEN UNLIMITED The free download includes every feature, with up to four stops per trip. A single one-off purchase — no subscription — unlocks Trip Saver Unlimited and removes the limit for good. GET IN TOUCH Requests, ideas or complaints — email francis@pdfpaginate.com. Trip Saver is built by one developer, and every message gets read.
