About this app

map.ping turns your saved Google My Maps into proximity alerts. Import a map of the places you care about — restaurants to try, shops, viewpoints, a trip itinerary — and map.ping pings you when you come near one, even when the app is closed.

HOW IT WORKS

Import a Google My Map — paste an "anyone with the link" map link, import a .kml/.kmz file you exported, or just tap Share on a map in Google My Maps and pick map.ping.
Set your alert radius.
Go about your day. map.ping quietly watches your location and sends a notification when you come near a saved place.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• Your maps and location never leave your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. • Nothing about where you go is uploaded — proximity is checked entirely on your phone. • Private maps work too — export them as a file and import; the file never leaves your phone.

MADE FOR EXPLORERS

• See every place sorted by distance, with a map view of your alert radius. • Tune it your way: alert radius, minimum distance before the same place alerts again, and quiet hours. • Pause alerts anytime, and send a test alert to see how it feels. • Battery-aware background scanning — GPS ramps up only while you're moving.

FREE & PRO

• Free: keep 1 map. • Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription): keep more maps and have them all active at once.

Great for travelers, foodies following a "places to try" list, real-estate hunting, road trips, and anyone who saves spots in Google My Maps and wants a nudge when they're close.

What’s new

• Add your own pins — save a place at your current location to any map, and get pinged when you're back near it.
• Export & share — send any map (your pins included) as a KML file, to a friend or back into map.ping.
• Map link — when a map or list's description includes a website, one tap takes you there.
• Fixed: some shared Google list links failed to import.
• Your pins survive map refreshes.
