User guide

Quick tour of the basics.

1. Pick a category

Use the left rail (desktop) or the bottom bar (mobile) to filter to TCG Shops, Vending, or Retail. Tap a category again to clear the filter.

2. Search

The search bar in the sidebar accepts ZIP codes, city names, and store names. Results are restricted to our database — no external geocoding is performed inside the app.

3. Open a location

Tap any marker or list item to open the detail panel. You'll see address, hours, our description, and any community notes. The Open in Maps /Directions button hands off to Google Maps in a new tab.

4. Save & sign in

Sign in to save your favorite locations and join the community discussion. Until you sign in, the app runs locally on your device only.

5. Report a location

Found a vending machine that moved, or a shop that closed? Tap Report Location on the detail panel. Operators triage reports weekly.
