Why I built Map Tools

I'm a Google Maps power user. I have thousands of places saved, but Google offers no tools to let me search, filter, or tag my saved places. I can't mark where I've been recently or places I want to go. Planning trips and date nights was a hassle.

I wanted a richer experience on top of my saved maps data, so a few years ago I built Map Tools: power tools for Google Maps. It's mostly hand-coded, with an AI-built front end.

Map Tools is free for any places you've saved that it can find using open map data. If you want to enrich your data using the Google Maps API, that costs money, so I have to charge a monthly fee. Besides supporting the development, the other benefit of being a Pro user is that you can submit feedback, and I'll probably add it to the app.

If you find Map Tools helpful, please share it with your other power-user friends!
