Places, corrections & manual entries

Automatic detection is a starting point, not a verdict. Confirm visits, fix names with nearby-business suggestions, save places that name themselves in the future, and add past visits manually.

The visit lifecycle

Every visit carries a status: unconfirmed (as detected), confirmed (you approved it), or corrected (you changed the name, address, or location). iso.me never lets automatic geocoding overwrite a visit you've touched — your edits are final until you undo them.

Confirming and correcting

Saved places

Confirming or correcting a visit also saves the place — a name, position, and a match radius (default 150 m). From then on, any new visit inside that radius is automatically named from the saved place and marked confirmed. No more re-correcting “Home” every week.

Manual and past visits

The + menu on the map offers three ways to add history by hand:

Locations can be chosen by searching Apple Maps, dropping a pin on a map, reusing a saved place, or using your current GPS position. Past visits require a departure time and never silently fall back to “here”.

The current-place suggestion

With Settings → Map display → Visit suggestions enabled (off by default), the map can offer a small card when you arrive somewhere new — suggesting the nearest saved place or a nearby business, with one tap to save. Dismissing a suggestion also silences it for that spot, so it doesn't nag.
