MotoPin App
Ride first. Remember it later.
MotoPin is the app I built for my own rides. See a fuel stop, an overlook, a campsite, or a hazard worth remembering? Tap once and MotoPin saves exactly where you are. No stopping, no typing, no digging through apps mid-ride.
Android only for now. Free for up to 5 pins.
Three ways to drop a pin
- Home screen widget: one tap from your home screen.
- Quick Settings tile: drop a pin from the notification shade without leaving Google Maps or whatever app is on screen.
- Floating button (Pro): a small button that stays on top of any app, right next to your navigation.
Pins you can count on
If your phone's GPS has been idle, MotoPin waits for a real fix instead of giving up, and every pin is stamped with the moment you tapped. If GPS still can't get an exact fix, MotoPin saves the best position your phone has and marks the pin as approximate, so a pin is never lost.
Make sense of it after the ride
Every pin starts as "New," so MotoPin never slows you down in the moment. Later, tap a New pin and MotoPin shows the named places around it (gas stations, restaurants, viewpoints, campgrounds), nearest first. Pick the match, use the street address, or drop it on the exact spot on the map. MotoPin suggests a category: Fuel Stop, Scenic View, Campsite, Food / Rest, Hazard, or General. Add notes and a photo.
Review, share, and export
See every pin on a color-coded map, search your history, share a pin through any app, or open it in Google Maps. Export your pins as GPX for Garmin and other GPS devices.
