Wigemo is a Maps app with connection to Wikipedia for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple Watch.

The app can automatically notify you if you approach certain saved locations, so you won't miss them.
Supported Maps
- Apple Maps (Standard, Satellite, Hybrid, Flyover, 3D Buildings), - OpenTopoMap (Topographical map) - Mapbox Maps via additional subscription (Streets, Outdoors, Light, Dark, Satellite, Satellite+Street). These high-quality maps are much more detailed (especially in nature, hiking trails, paths, outdoor activity etc.) - Any number of additional raster maps can be included via additional "tile server" features (with an additional one-time purchase)
Search
- POI search via Apple Maps - Search via Wikipedia - Search for search terms - Search for coordinates - Search for places nearby certain reference locations - Filter search results by categories
Details for places
- Display Web page or Wikipedia article of the place - Phone number (incl. option to call the number) - Address - Visited status - Category - Color (used for the pins on the map) - photo
Manage Places
- Places can be saved in lists - Move places from one list to another - Show or hide lists and their places on the Map (so you can concentrate on those places you are currently interested in) - Places can be show/hidden based on their "visited" status - There are multiple styles available for the pins on the Map (a simple disc, icon of the category, photo, different sizes)
Import Places
- You can import geo locations from other Apps via "share" feature, via AirDrop, from cloud service, from the photo album, the address book - Supports photos (with GPS coordinates), Web addresses, GPX, KML, and CSV files, geo coordinates - Recognized are many web sites with geo tags, embedded google maps, the booking web site, Wikipedia, Yelp etc. - Apps which can share suitable data are for example the Booking App, Apple-Maps, Web-Browser
Export Places
- Places can be exported as GPX, KML, or CSV file (individually, whole lists or even all lists at once) - You can share the data with other Apps ur export them to cloud services - iCloud Sync can be used to synchronize the places between multiple iOS devices - You can also sync the places between iPhone and Apple Watch
Routes
- A route stores a path from A to B, including additional information and notes for waypoints - Import routes from GPX/KML files - Create routes manually - Use the "directions" feature to create routes - Save and organise any number or routes - Display routes on the map
Other Features
- The App can send a notification if the user approaches saved places - A crosshair with geo coordinates can be shown on the Map - A scale allows to estamate distances on the map
Apple Watch
- The App on the Apple Watch supports the search via Wikipedia - Places can be organized in lists - Places can be shown/hidden on the map (based on lists, and visited status) - Places can be saved on the watch - The Watch App can run independently from the iPhone App.
Note: The App supports even older iOS releases back to iOS 12. But the full feature set requires iOS 14 and newer. Only search features relying on Apple's map services can be limited under iOS 12 or 13, the search via Wikipedia will work under all iOS releases. e.g. filtering search results by POI category requires at least iOS 13. The search for POIs near a certain location requires iOS 14 and later.
- The "directions" feature to get a route from A to B allows to define start (A) and destination (B) in any order now (before you always had to define the destination first) - The "tile server" feature allows to export the server configuration as MapSource file now. - Now, the App can also read "folders" defined in KML files. So when importing a KML file with multiple folders of places, the App is able to create corresponding folders in its own list of places and put the imported places there. However you can still import all the places into already existing folders. The App asks for the destination when importing KML files, so pick "Create new list" if you want to allow the creation of new folders. - The KML import supports "routes" which are defined through a list of place marks. - The new version does also sync custom POI categories including their icon which were defined while saving/editing places/locations (in case iCloud sync is enabled). - Now, the App also runs on Macs with Apple Silicon processors. Because of a bug within the macOS this did not work before without crashes.

- "Map Overlays" do now support the MapBox maps as well. Which means this feature can be now used with all maps styles and map types without any restrictions.
- Under iOS 16 and later it is now also possible to customize the colors/contrast of the Standard Apple Maps to make it more vivid easier to read. Other Map properties, like pitch, traffic etc. can be configured individually for each of the Apple Map styles.
- The App can now also calculate routes/directions between two random locations, in the past the start locations was always the current location of the user.
- Bugfix: When sharing a contact to the App the Sharesheet of Wigemo did not show the actual coordinates of the address in the preview (though saving the address did work correctly, including the coordinates)
- Bugfix: The compass in the dynamic island was slightly too big since iOS 16.2, so the top and bottom border was cut off.

New Features: -------------
- In the detail view of a place (e.g. when editing or saving a place) when selecting the list in which the location should be stored, it is now possible to directly create, edit or delete the lists here as well.
- In the detail view of a place when selecting a category, it's now possible to create your own custom categories as well (requires iOS 14 or newer).
- The "Tile Server" option does now also support "overlays". There are tile servers which do no provide full maps but instead only overlays with additional information wich should be displayed on top of existing maps. Wigemo can make these Overlays available for all three Apple Maps and also all Raster Maps. When selecting a map from the list of available Maps, a new "layer" icon will indicate that Overlays are available for the maps and tapping this icon lets you select and activate an overlay on this map.
Improvements: -------------
- Sharing places from the Yelp App to Wigemo is now supported.
- Sharing places from the Google Maps App to Wigemo is now supported as well
- The App for the Apple Watch is now able to show web sites of places without the "warning" that was shown by the watchOS in previous releases.
- In case many images had to be loaded at the same time, the App is now more smooth.
Bugfixes: ---------
- Bugfix: When exchanging the photo of a place, the new photo was not always shown in the pin on the map immediately
- Bugfix: Exchanging the photo of a place failed if the new photo didn't include geo coordinates
- Bugfix: The GPS coordinates in EXIF information of photos were interpreted wrong in case the coordinates were not given in the standard conventions (e.g. positive values mean north or east, negative values south or west)
