Close2Me - Place Alerts
Get alerts near saved places
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Save places, get alerts. Import your Google Maps lists and receive notifications when you're close to a spot you want to visit.
Close2Me turns your Google Maps saved places into smart proximity alerts. Simply share a list link from Google Maps, and Close2Me imports all your places automatically.
When you're out and about, enable monitoring and the app will notify you whenever you're approaching a saved place — whether it's that restaurant you bookmarked, a landmark on your travel list, or a shop you've been meaning to visit.

Here's a "What's New" / "Novità in questa versione" text for version 1.1.3:
Refresh lists from Google Maps
Added a new refresh button in every imported list. Tap it to sync with your original Google Maps list — any new places you've added on Google Maps will appear in the app automatically. No need to re-import the entire list.
Share locations to any maps app
You can now share a place directly from the map view. Tap the share icon to send the location link to anyone, or tap the open button to navigate with your preferred app — Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze.
Open in your favorite navigator
When viewing a place on the map, a new "Open in..." menu lets you choose which maps app to launch. The app detects which navigation apps are installed and shows only the available ones.
