Description
Initially launched with the feature to check bus arrival times in Hong Kong, the name comes from a phrase that pops up after finding a location: “This is the place!”
Unlike traditional map apps that reset the map area after a search or update search results as you move the map—often leading to confusion—THIS IS THE PLACE introduces a fixed starting point. All results revolve around this point, allowing you to quickly return to it with one tap. The starting point can be your current location or any place of your choosing. It’s a map app that puts you in control.

Check the times, and you’ll know which route to take and where to wait.
