MapInk: Map Notes
Draw & plan routes
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Draw journeys with pins, routes and handwritten notes. Choose Apple Pencil, finger or both, and unlock unlimited map items forever with one purchase.
MapInk turns your iPhone and iPad into a map canvas for planning trips, marking places, and capturing handwritten notes exactly where they belong.
Search for a place or address, drop pins, and sketch routes with Apple Pencil or your finger. Connect your pins into a Journey to drive, walk or fly between stops, and check the weather for every stop along the way. When you want to explain or remember a place, write directly on the map and share a snapshot.

- Connect your pins into a Journey and reorder stops anytime
- Choose Drive, Walk or Fly for each leg; flights are drawn as arcs across the map
