Wonder which cola brand a venue serves before you go? Cola Compass shows you, based on reports from a community of fellow soda fans. • Browse the map. See nearby venues with brand-colored pins indicating which cola brand each place serves. • Search anything. Look up community-reported places or search Apple Maps for venues that haven't been reported yet. • Filter by brand and category. Restaurants, bars, theaters, cafes — see which serve the brand you care about. • Add a report. Tap any venue on the map, or search for one, and tell the community what they pour. Attach a photo of the cup or fountain if you like. • Community-powered. Anyone can contribute. Flag content that breaks the rules or block contributors you don't want to see. • Your data, your control. Manage, export, or delete every report you've submitted from a dedicated Your Data screen. Works with iOS: • Add the Home Screen widget for a glance at what soda's nearby. • Ask Siri "What soda is nearby?" or "Log a Coca-Cola sighting at Joe's Pizza." • Find Cola Compass venues directly from Spotlight search. • Build automations with the Shortcuts app or the iPhone Action Button. • Sign in with Apple to keep your contribution history across devices. For soda enthusiasts: • Per-variant ratings — Diet Coke might be rated differently than regular at the same venue. • Shift variance — see if a venue pours Coke during lunch and Pepsi during dinner. • Auto-translate venue names from any language to yours. • Personal map of every venue you've contributed to, with first-discoveries highlighted. • Earn milestone badges and pick a title to display on your reports.
