Description
Featured by Apple in “Best New Apps”!
Plan your next trip, mark places you want to go, and remember your favorite spots. Across town or across the world, you’ll never forget another place with Pinbox!
Add pins where you are, where you’ve been, or where you want to go. Pinbox makes it easy to quickly record and organize your important places into distinct maps for every activity, occasion, or geographic region.
Unlike other apps, Pinbox doesn’t force you to save all your places on a single map. You can make one map for your favorite local restaurants - make another map for your next business trip or vacation - and make another map for errands you need to run this weekend. The possibilities are endless!
Pinbox is about you and your places. It’s not a social network. You don’t have to create an account or enter your Facebook details to use the app. Your maps aren’t cluttered with random places bookmarked by strangers. Pinbox is simply the best app for privately bookmarking places that are important to YOU!

Using Pinbox on an iPod Touch or an iPad:
Like other map apps, Pinbox uses GPS to determine your location. iPods and Wi-Fi-only iPads do not have a GPS receiver. On these devices, Pinbox provides your approximate location using information based on your proximity to known Wi-Fi networks (when on and available). The more accurate the available information, the smaller the circle identifying your position on the map. This feature is not available in all areas. Known Wi-Fi networks are predominantly in urban areas. An internet connection is required to load maps, look up addresses, and search. Although Pinbox can be installed on iPads, it’s not formatted for the larger iPad screen - it runs doubled like all other iPhone apps.
Pinbox is the result of a collaboration between Scott D. Smith and Paul Burd. We sincerely hope you like it!

Ratings and Reviews
Needs Two Things
Best app I’ve found to plan travel. But it really does need an iPad version. Second thing is that it needs syncing between devices. Some other minor UI updates wouldn’t hurt. It does have a great search engine. It had found every location I’ve looked for. Although, China Beach on BC is not in the US.
Planning a trip to Vancouver Island when it’s safe to travel. I’m pinning parks in on one color, dining in a second, and POIs in a third. Great for planning and execution.
One big problem for me...
If it weren't for one problem, I would absolutely love this app. It was great for a while, but the limit on the number of pins in each map has become a problem for me. I work all over Dallas-Fort Worth and surrounding areas, and I have been using Pinbox to note the facilities I work in, and a nearby restaurants I've eaten at, hotels, retail locations I have used… that was very handy when I went back to a facility, and I could see what was near my location, and read notes about my experience with in the past. The search is great for seeing a birds-eye view of how the places I want to go are laid out.
I have been doing this for a couple years, and I've been a lot of places. I have run out of pins on my main map, and I've had to start doing things like moving restaurants on to another map. When I am in the hotel, and I want to see what restaurants or stores are nearest me, it's difficult now, because I can't have it all on one map.
I really wish they would just let the total limit all go on one map.
Rural living
Update: my friend just emailed me a map and I imported it into my own Pinbox. How cool is that?
I live in the country and like to mark points of interest on our property (springs, camp sites etc.) and have done so with my phone for a couple years now. For a while I've used sophisticated gps apps but this is seems much easier for this purpose. I rode our ATV around today and quickly pinned many of our special spots. I also started a map of all the countries I've been to (limited so far;). My sister and her husband fish a lot I'm sure this would help them mark and find their special spots on the lake. Edit: addition of a few pictures to document places is really going to be handy
