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 1. 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. 2. Set your alert radius. 3. 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.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Easier Google My Maps import - open My Maps from the app, copy a map's link, and map.ping offers to import it the moment you're back. • A short guide before you start - three steps that show how to make a map importable and share it straight to map.ping. Turn it off with "Don't show this again". • Map not shared yet? One tap opens its sharing settings, and the import retries by itself when you return. • Fixed: a copied map link was sometimes ignored. Any link or text on your clipboard is now checked when you open Import. • Sturdier imports - a shared map that fails on the first try is retried automatically.
