PointTo – Distance & Direction Android

PointTo – Distance & Direction

See the distance & direction to any place, live on a home screen widget.

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Never wonder how far away home, work, or your favorite spot really is. PointTo puts a live distance-and-direction readout right on your home screen — no need to open an app or a map.

WHAT IT DOES
• Add a widget for any place you choose, and PointTo shows exactly how far away it is and which direction to walk or drive — updated automatically throughout the day.
• Tap the widget any time for a full, zoomable map with a one-tap handoff to your favorite navigation app.

TWO WAYS TO TRACK A PLACE
• Place: pin one exact spot — home, a friend's house, your car, a vacation rental — and the widget always points there.
• Category: pick a type of place instead — supermarket, pharmacy, ATM, bakery, gas station, and more — and the widget automatically tracks whichever one is currently closest to you, updating as you move around.

MULTIPLE WIDGETS
Add as many widgets as you like, each with its own place or category — "Home," "Office," and "Nearest pharmacy" side by side on the same home screen.

MADE FOR EVERY HOME SCREEN
Choose from several map styles (classic, modern, light, terrain) for each widget individually, so it matches your wallpaper and taste.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no tracking beyond what the widget itself needs to work. Map and place data comes from OpenStreetMap, Nominatim, and Overpass — open, community-maintained map data.

Location access (including background location) is used only to calculate distance and direction for your widgets.
