πŸ“ New: pin your own spots on the map!

16 June 2026

Until now you built your own practice list by searching for places: type a name, pick it, done. Great for cities, rivers and areas the game already knows. But what if your favourite spot isn't in there? Grandma's house, your school, the playground around the corner, or last year's holiday cottage? Now there's something lovely for exactly that! πŸŽ‰

πŸ“ Pin your own spot on the map

The list builder has a new button: "πŸ“ Or pin your own spot on the map". Tap it and the whole world map appears, with a little cross right in the middle of your screen. Now you're in charge of the map!

πŸ—ΊοΈ How does it work?

It's as easy as sticking a pin in a map:

  • Drag and zoom the map until your spot sits right under the cross πŸ“.
  • Give it a name β€” for example "Grandma's house" or "My school".
  • Tap "πŸ“ Drop it here". Pling! Your spot is in your list.
  • One more? Slide the map further and pin the next one. Done? Tap "βœ“ Done".

Then you can play your list right away β€” flying the helicopter to your spots!

πŸ’‘ What can you make with it?

  • 🏑 My family β€” where do grandpa, grandma and your cousins live?
  • πŸ–οΈ Our holidays β€” every place you've ever been on holiday.
  • 🚲 My neighbourhood β€” the school, the baker, the pool, the football pitch.
  • ⚽ Away games β€” every place your team had to play.

🌍 And you can share it!

Made a nice list? Set it to public and other players can find and play it. (This works with your own account with a password β€” just ask a grown-up.)

🚁 How do you start?

Go to "My lists", make a new list and tap the map button. Within a minute you'll be flying past your own spots. Have fun, topo pilot! πŸ’™
