Places are now something you type

Maintano is a free vehicle maintenance logbook for Android and iPhone: every service, receipt and reminder, for everything you drive.

The map and the place search are gone from the app.

A place on a log or a reminder is now two things you type: a name and, if you want, an address. As you type the name, the app suggests places you have used before; pick one and both the name and the address fill in.

Why: the map services do not allow an app to keep the places they return, and we would rather follow their terms than work around them.

What happens to your old entries: place names stay exactly as they were. Map pins saved by earlier versions are removed when the app updates; the name and any address you had are kept as text.

The Directions button on a reminder still works: it opens your maps app with a search for the place.

The Privacy Policy at maintano.app/privacy describes what a place is and where it goes.
