Pinball Map app quick tip for finding which locations have the newest machine. video has audio.
And if you don't already know that, for ex, Fallout is the newest, you can sort the machine select screen by Year.

New app update. The "Route" button at a location now gives you a selection of which installed map app you want to use for directions.

New Pinball Map app update (v.5.4.19). This one is largely focused on better design handling for users with LARGE SCALED system text. Like, if you set your phone's text size to be larger than default, there were previously many broken/ugly design things. And now those are mostly resolved.

New app update. Only focused on some design changes. Radical (in the surfer slang sense) redesign of the location details page. Less wall of text.
