Why answers can differ
IP versus GPS · ZIP versus ZCTA · Device versus physical time zone
The copy includes the selected coordinates. Share it only with someone you choose.
Works with no signal once saved
Save this area’s maps on this device. With no signal, your device position still finds the county, ZIP area, time zone and coordinates here. No coordinates or location history are saved. A new area and USGS elevation need a connection.
Nearest point, not nearest entrance
The distances go from your selected position to each park’s map point. A large park can have an entrance much closer than that point, or a road trip much longer than the straight line. Open the official park page to choose an entrance and check access before traveling.
Which parks are included?
Only designated national parks are included. Monuments, recreation areas and state parks are left out. Kings Canyon and Sequoia share one map point in the source, so a tie is shown rather than an invented difference.
Check your starting point
A city search uses a point inside that city. For a more useful starting point, use device location or your coordinates.
