I built this because I don't like hunting for my car in giant parking lots. I didn't like the existing apps - I just wanted a simple arrow pointing at the thing I marked. So I built Waypoint.

What it's good for

- Marking your campsite so you can wander and get back after dark

- Bushwhacking off a trail - drop a pin at the trailhead and explore without worrying about the way back

- Saving a fishing or hunting spot to come back to

- Finding your car at festivals, trailheads, beaches, stadiums, big parking lots

- Marking where you stashed a kayak, cooler, or gear

- Marking a bunch of locations of interest before heading out on a trip. Always know the direction to go

[App][Promo] I built Waypoint: an app that drops a pin and shows you an arrow back to it. No accounts. No ads. Fully offline. All data stays on your device.

I built Waypoint, a small app that let's you mark where you are, and it shows you an arrow pointing back.

What it's good for

- Finding your car at festivals, trailheads, beaches, stadiums, big parking lots

- Marking your campsite so you can wander and get back after dark

- Saving a fishing or hunting spot to come back to

- Bushwhacking off a trail - drop a pin at the trailhead and explore without worrying about the way back

- Marking where you stashed a kayak, cooler, or gear

It's free for up to 3 pins, which covers most weekend trips - but I would love for people to check out all the Pro features, so the first 50 people that DM me will get a code that unlocks Waypoint Pro for life.
