Everything PlaceVault does

Finds BaseCamp libraries and backups and Google Earth Pro My Places on your Mac (after you grant folder access) and imports each into its own folder.

Reads a BaseCamp database folder, a single .gdb file or a .Backup archive directly — no BaseCamp needed. Folders and lists, colours, symbols, notes, addresses and categories (as tags) come across; an item in several lists stays one item.

Merge a GPX export of the same items from BaseCamp to add track times and elevations, via/shaping point roles and calculated route geometry.

Recovers per-point times and elevations from BaseCamp's undocumented TrackSegments data when the match is confident; otherwise use the GPX merge.

Nested folders, shared styles, polygons with holes, gx:Track, ground overlays with embedded images, HTML descriptions, Regions/LOD and tours.

Display colours, route geometry, via/shaping points, and heart rate, cadence and temperature on track points.

Activities from FIT and TCX, CSV waypoints with automatic delimiter and any coordinate format, GeoJSON, and zipped Shapefiles (UTM and Web Mercator reprojected).

Groundspeak LOC files and geocache details in GPX.

Turn a folder of geotagged JPEG or HEIC photos into waypoints with thumbnails.

Import menu and toolbar, drag and drop onto the window, Finder Open With, paste KML or GPX, and the Services menu.

Optionally fetch linked KML/KMZ with view-based refresh; can be turned off in Settings.

Nested folders with show/hide checkboxes and counts; an item can live in several folders, like BaseCamp lists.

Search names, notes and tags with filters such as kind:track, tag:hut or folder:Alps, and save searches as smart lists.

Edit name, colour (including the 16 device colours), symbol, notes, tags, description and extended data; coordinates in any format.

Change colour, device colour, tags, name prefix and visibility for many items at once.

Decimal degrees, degrees-minutes, DMS, UTM and MGRS — shown and typed.

Undo and redo for every edit, autosave, hourly snapshots, manual backups and a library integrity check.

Keep the library where you like, including iCloud Drive; changes from another Mac are detected and merged, or you choose.

Export GPX, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or CSV, a folder tree as GPX files, or a full library backup; share GPX or KMZ via Mail, Messages or AirDrop; copy as KML or GPX.

Standard, satellite, hybrid and 3D terrain when you are online.

Extract just your region from a worldwide OpenStreetMap build (Protomaps), drawn in a light or dark topo style with labels.

Download ready-made map, routing and place-search packs from the PlaceVault catalog or a catalog URL you choose.

Download an area from USGS topo and imagery or your own tile server template, or add MBTiles and PMTiles files.

Offline elevation from GeoTIFF (e.g. Copernicus, SRTM), HGT or terrain tiles, with hillshade, contour lines and slope-angle shading.

Lat/long, UTM and MGRS grid, scale bar, and the coordinate and elevation under the pointer.

Add waypoints, draw areas and tracks, reshape areas corner by corner, and measure distances, areas and circles.

Search addresses, places and coordinates offline with a place pack, or with Apple Maps when online; save results as waypoints.

Only what's in view is drawn, and pins cluster when there are many.

Image overlays from KMZ files on the map, and playback of Google Earth Pro tours.

Draw routes with via and shaping points, drag the line to reshape, insert or delete points. Without Pro, legs are straight lines.

Connect selected waypoints in your order or an optimised order (follows roads and trails with Pro).

Car, motorcycle (curvy roads), bicycle and foot routing from routing packs, with fastest, shortest or curvy, and avoid tolls, motorways, unpaved roads or ferries.

Optionally use Apple Maps directions when online and no offline pack covers the route.

Turn-by-turn directions, travel time and distance for calculated routes, and printable route directions.

Build a routing and place-search pack for any region from an OpenStreetMap extract (.osm.pbf). Routing with it needs Pro.

Send waypoints, routes and tracks as GPX to USB mass-storage and MTP Garmin units, with colours and via/shaping points kept.

Grouped warnings before sending: duplicate point names the unit may merge, legs it will recalculate, and zūmo route limits — with one-click fixes.

Read current and archived tracks from mass-storage units, or tracks from MTP devices.

See connected units in the sidebar, eject them, and get a warning when Garmin Express is holding the device.

Elevation, grade and speed profiles that follow your pointer on the map; distance, moving time, speeds, ascent and descent.

Fill missing track and route elevations from offline elevation data.

Filter or simplify tracks, split, join and reverse, edit individual track points, and convert route ⇄ track.

Create a waypoint at a bearing and distance from another.

Match photos to track times and optionally write the position into the photo files.

Print or save PDF/PNG maps up to 300 dpi from offline maps or Apple Maps, with title, legend, north arrow, lat/long/UTM/MGRS grid and scale.

Pan, zoom, rotate and tilt the map with a SpaceMouse-class controller; not yet tested on every model.

No sign-up, no analytics, no advertising. The developer receives no data about you.

An optional diagnostics log stays on your Mac; you choose whether to export and share it.

The network is used only for features you use, like Apple Maps or downloads. Remote images in KML descriptions are blocked unless you allow them.

Press Space on a GPX, KML or KMZ file in the Finder to preview it on a map.

Map thumbnails for GPX, KML, KMZ and GeoJSON files.

Find your places from Spotlight; opening a result reveals it in PlaceVault (can be turned off).

Import places or show coordinates from selected text in other apps.

Open several windows, use single-key drawing tools and keyboard shortcuts.

VoiceOver labels on the map and lists, light and dark appearance, built-in Help, tips and What's New.
