An offline-first iOS app for saving waypoints, planning multi-stop routes, and navigating by compass.

Why it surfaced

Maplet combines pin bookmarks, route optimization, GPX/KML/CSV import, and a Compass Target that can point toward saved places, the Sun, Moon, Qibla, or a parked car. It keeps locations on the device, works without an account or cell service, and can share folders through private maplet.net/share links.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
