Still bookmarking random spots on social media, saving exact coordinates into Notes, and spending 10 minutes staring at your map wondering which one is actually close? We’ve all been there. Vacation turns into spreadsheet management real fast. TripPoint Note puts all your messy travel ideas onto one map you can actually read and use. Here’s how it works: Drop pins that actually make sense Restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, scenic spots—give each category its own color and icon so you can spot what you need at a glance. When the map starts getting crowded, filter by category. Plus, set where you're starting from and we'll reorder your stops into a logical order automatically. Copy address, open app, done Copy a place name or address from a blog, an online travel guide, or a group chat. Open TripPoint Note, and it catches it instantly—one tap to locate it. If two spots share the exact same name, we show them side by side so you don't accidentally navigate to the wrong side of town. (You can also search nearby for last-minute coffee or convenience stores.) Connect the dots Draw custom lines between any pins—even complex many-to-many routes—to visualize your entire trip structure. When you're on the ground, turn on walking navigation with step-by-step turn alerts. iPad + Apple Pencil Circle two pins to snap a route together. Swipe once to erase it. No toggling modes, no menu hunting. Sketch notes and arrows directly on the canvas—they stay anchored right to their real-world location. You can even handwrite place names right into the search bar. Document as you explore Snap photos or record video without leaving the map—they attach directly to the exact pin you’re standing at. Add quick thoughts, arrival times, budget tracking, and check off packing items as you go. Your daily itineraries are grouped neatly by day, keeping the big picture clear. Clean, simple, yours No forced sign-ups. No tracking scripts. No third-party ads. Your trips and photos live right on your device by default. Want to keep things safe when upgrading phones? Turn on iCloud Backup whenever you choose. Some advanced features require TripPoint Pro. Manage or cancel anytime right in your Apple account settings.
