Waymark
Early accessImport from Google Maps

Your saved places, finally useful.

Waymark turns the hundreds of pins buried in your Google Maps lists into a library you can search, tag and filter, with notes that remember why you saved each one and a nudge when you're nearby.

Free during early access. No spam, just one email when your invite is ready.

Sound familiar?

Saving a place takes one tap. Finding it again takes forever.

  • “I saved an incredible taco place in Mexico City. I just can't remember what it was called.”

    #lostforever

  • “My Want to go list has 600 pins and zero context. Why did I save half of these?”

    #wanttogo

  • “I walked right past the bakery I'd been saving for a year. Found out the next morning.”

    #sonearyetsofar

Map apps are brilliant at getting you somewhere. Waymark is built for the part that comes before: remembering where you wanted to go, and why.

Features

Everything your saved list was missing

Bring your places over once. Then search, sort and rediscover them like a library you actually own.

  • Tags that cut across lists

    Lists are folders. Tags are how you actually think. Mark a place #datenight and #rainyday at once, then pull up either in a tap.

  • Notes that remember why

    What to order, who recommended it, when to go. Your notes live on the place itself, not in a separate app.

  • Filters for “where now?”

    Open now, close by, not visited yet. Stack any filters and get a short list you can act on.

  • A nudge when you're nearby

    Walk past a place you saved two years ago and Waymark taps you on the shoulder. Choose which lists can nudge you, or switch it off completely.

  • Shared lists for trips and crews

    Everyone adds places, votes and leaves notes. Plans get made without a 200 message group chat.

  • Offline when you travel

    Download a city before you fly. Places, notes and the map come with you, no roaming needed.

  • Opens in your favorite map

    Waymark keeps the list, your map app does the driving. One tap hands off directions.

  • Visited and rated

    Check places off and rate them. Your map slowly turns from wishlist into memory.

  • Duplicates merged

    Saved the same spot in three lists? Waymark folds them into one, notes and all.

  • Plan on a big screen

    Sort a whole trip on the web, then grab your phone and head out.

  • Export anytime

    Take every place, note and tag with you as CSV, KML or GeoJSON.

How it works

From Google Maps to Waymark in three steps

No copying pins by hand. Your lists, stars and notes come over in one go, usually in about two minutes.

  1. STEP 01

    Export from Google Takeout

    Choose Saved and Maps (your places) in Google Takeout. You get one file with every list and starred place.

  2. STEP 02

    Drop it into Waymark

    We match each pin to the real place, fill in hours, photos and categories, and keep every note you wrote.

  3. STEP 03

    Rediscover your map

    Tag, filter and plan. When you're close to something you saved, Waymark lets you know.

What a typical import brings across:

  • Every list, with its name
  • Your notes on each place
  • Starred places from years ago
  • Duplicates merged automatically

Why switch

A pile of pins, or a library of places

A typical saved list

  • Sorted by when you saved it, not by what you need
  • No idea why half of it is there
  • You find out it's closed when you arrive
  • You forget it exists while walking right past
  • Planning a trip means a lot of scrolling
Waymark248 places, sorted

Your places in Waymark

  • Filter by open now, distance, tag or mood
  • A note on every place, right where you need it
  • Hours checked before you head out
  • A nudge when you're nearby, only if you want one
  • Plan on the web, then take it offline

Privacy

Your places are yours.

A list of the places you love says a lot about you. We treat it that way.

  • No ads. Ever.

    Your saved places are never used to target you with anything. Not today, not after launch.

  • Location only when you ask

    Nearby nudges are opt-in, list by list. Turn them off and Waymark never asks where you are.

  • Leave whenever you like

    Export every place, note and tag to CSV, KML or GeoJSON in one tap. No hoops, no waiting.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The short version: bring your lists, keep your privacy, and never lose a good place again.

Can I bring my Google Maps saved places?

Yes. Export your data from Google Takeout, choosing Saved and Maps (your places), and drop the file into Waymark. Your lists, starred places and notes come across, and we match each pin to the real place so hours and categories are filled in for you.

Do I have to stop using Google Maps?

Not at all. Waymark is where you save and organize. When it's time to go, tap any place to get directions in Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze or Citymapper.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone and Android, plus a web app for planning on a bigger screen. Your places stay in sync across all of them.

What does it cost?

Waymark is free during early access. If paid features arrive later, everything you've saved stays yours to keep and export, whatever you decide.

Who can see my places?

Only you. Lists are private until you share one, and a shared list can be view-only or open for friends to add places and vote.
