About PlaceTap - Map & Nav Widgets
Your usual places, ready on your home screen. PlaceTap saves your destinations and lets you start Google Maps navigation from your iPhone home screen. SAVE A PLACE Paste a Google Maps share link or save your current location. START FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Use a widget for one or several places, or a shortcut you can keep in a folder. Choose driving or walking for each widget or shortcut. MAKE IT YOURS Customize icons, labels and colors. Adjust widget transparency, text size and icon size. KEEP THINGS ORGANIZED Group your places, widgets and shortcuts so they are easy to find. On iPhone, add widgets using the Home Screen controls. For a separate place icon, use Apple's Shortcuts app to add it to the Home Screen; you can export a custom icon from PlaceTap. Saving a configuration does not add it to the Home Screen automatically. Widget appearance follows iOS display rules. No account required. No ads. Your saved places stay on your device. The free version lets you use your 3 earliest saved places and their widgets and shortcuts. Later places stay saved but are locked. Pro unlocks all places. Try Pro free for 7 days Every Pro feature is available during the trial. No payment details are required, and there is no auto-renewal. PlaceTap Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase that removes the place limit. No subscription. Restore Pro with the same App Store account.
