glide vs Akin

glide is the new way to explore a city - starting from the places you already saved. If your Instagram Saved folder is full of cafes, bars, weekend trip ideas, and "we should totally go here" spots... but you never actually go: glide fixes that. Send glide a reel or a post, and it pulls out the actual place - the cafe, the trail, the rooftop bar - and drops a pin on a map of your city, organised by neighbourhood. No manual tagging. Found a spot on Google Maps? Share that too. Know a place but can't find the reel? Just search for it. WHAT YOU CAN DO Share from Instagram and Google Maps See a place in a reel, a post, or on Google Maps? Hit share and pick glide. It lands on one map, sorted by city and neighbourhood, with the details filled in. Search and save, without the reel Heard about a place from a friend, or saw it once and lost the post? Search for it inside glide and save it directly. No hunting through Instagram, no screenshots. Everything you save, sorted automatically Open the Places collection and your saves are already grouped by city and country, with everywhere you've liked in its own collection. Nothing to set up, nothing to file. Each one tracks how much of it you've actually covered. Build your own collections A weekend, a trip, or just "cafes to try." Each one gets its own map, its own details, and a completion indicator so you can see how much of your plan you've covered. Save a post from Instagram straight into a collection. The details you'd otherwise dig for yourself Opening hours, price range, the vibe, and Google ratings and reviews - on the card, before you decide. Everything you need to answer "is this worth going to?" in one place. Liked, done, and your own notes Mark a place liked when you want to go and done once you've been. Add notes - who recommended it, what to order. Your saves become a record of the city you've actually covered. Reminders when you're close Get a nudge when you're near somewhere you liked, so a place you saved months ago doesn't stay unvisited while you're two streets away. A map built for deciding A cleaner, faster map with less clutter, dark and light modes, and search that finds what you meant. HOW IT WORKS 1. See a place in a reel, a post, or on Google Maps? Hit share - the same way you'd send it to a friend on WhatsApp - and pick glide. You can drop it straight into a collection while you're there 2. Or just search for any place inside glide and save it 3. Open your map and see everywhere you've saved, sorted by city and neighbourhood Planning a weekend? Filter by area and pick from spots you already wanted to try. Planning a trip? Create a collection for it - and everything you save lands in one map, with a tracker for how much you've done. Bored on a random evening? Open the map - real spots you saved, not the same top ten everyone gets. glide doesn't post on your behalf, doesn't need your Instagram password, and only ever touches what YOU send it. Free to start. No credit card needed.
