PreMap helps you open repeated routes faster. Save the places you already use, choose where you want to go, and launch the exact route in your preferred map app with the travel mode already selected. PreMap is not a maps app. It comes one step before the map β€” hence the name PreMap. It helps you get more out of Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze by acting as a quick launcher with your start point, destination, and travel mode pre-filled. For example, imagine you are on vacation and have already planned your itinerary. You want quick access to your hotel, restaurants, museums, stations, airports, and venues. Some trips are by car, some by public transit, and some on foot. Opening a maps app and searching again multiple times a day takes too many taps. With PreMap, your saved places are ready upfront, and a single drag gesture can launch the route you need with the travel mode you want. Use PreMap for daily commutes, regular errands, travel plans, hotel-to-venue routes, gym trips, school runs, and helping loved ones keep their regular routes ready to launch. Key features: β€’ Save frequently used places and addresses β€’ Organize places into collections β€’ Launch routes quickly in supported map apps β€’ Choose default map and travel preferences β€’ Keep your places local-first on your device β€’ Export and manage your saved route data PreMap is a route launcher, not a navigation, traffic, emergency, or safety service. Routes, directions, travel times, traffic, and safety information are provided by the third-party map app you choose. Always check your selected map app before traveling. PreMap offers paid plans, subscriptions, and in-app purchases. Some features require an active subscription or purchase. Subscription pricing, duration, trial availability, renewal details, and cancellation terms are shown before purchase. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled in your Apple account settings.
