The Salesforce Maps mobile app was retired on 31 August 2026. What now?
Updated 11 November 2026 · prices checked this month
Short answer: Salesforce retired the standalone Salesforce Maps app for iPhone and Android on 31 August 2026. Reps now use the Maps tab inside the main Salesforce mobile app. Salesforce also retired Maps Live Tracking Mobile on the same day, and live tracking did not move into the main app. Desktop Salesforce Maps is not affected.
What changed on 31 August 2026
| Before | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Rep app | Standalone Salesforce Maps app (iOS and Android) | Maps tab inside the Salesforce mobile app |
| Live rep location for managers | Maps Live Tracking Mobile | Retired; Salesforce points to Check-In and Mileage Administration |
| Desktop Salesforce Maps | Available | Unchanged |
Your three options
- Stay on Salesforce and move reps to the Maps tab in the Salesforce mobile app. Best if your reps live in Salesforce all day.
- Move to a dedicated per-user field tool such as Badger Maps, SPOTIO or Map My Customers. Best if route optimisation and live mapping are the core of the job.
- Own your field app. If your reps visit the same customers or dealers on a cycle, take orders and collect payments, an app you buy once can replace the field side without a per-user bill.

Switching takes a day
Beatplan is sold once with the full source code (US$2,900 for your own company, unlimited reps). Your IT person or IT provider deploys it in a day with the included setup guide and an AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Codex or ChatGPT): the database on your own Supabase account, the web console, and the phone app for your reps. There is no per-user fee and no annual commitment; the only running cost is your own hosting, from about US$25 a month.
