Terms of Use
Last updated: 20 August 2026
The short version: Mapper is a free, independent planning tool. Distances, times, and miles are unofficial estimates — not a schedule, not a ticket, and not a promise from any airline. Check the airline before you book. If that’s not acceptable, please don’t use the site.
Who we are
Mapper (mapper.now) is a free tool published by Sauces 201 LLC, doing business as PNM Now. Contact hello@pnm.now.
Not affiliated with any airline
Mapper is independent. It is not sponsored, endorsed, or affiliated with Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United Airlines, or any other carrier or loyalty program. Names such as Delta SkyMiles, American AAdvantage, and United MileagePlus are trademarks of their respective owners. We use them only to describe those programs (nominative fair use). Official program rules always control.
What Mapper shows — and what it doesn’t
- Distances are great-circle (the shortest path on a globe). Real flights follow airways, weather, and air-traffic control, so the miles an airline credits can differ.
- Flight times are approximate airborne estimates, sometimes refined by an AI model. They are not schedules, block times, or a guarantee you will make a connection.
- Miles and status currency (redeemable miles, Loyalty Points, PQP, MQDs, elite bonuses) are unofficial reconstructions of published partner earning charts. Airlines change those charts without notice. Revenue-based tickets, fuel surcharges, routing exceptions, and unpublished rules are not fully modeled.
Do not rely on Mapper as the sole basis for buying a ticket, crediting a flight, or planning elite status. Confirm earning and routing with the operating airline and the program you credit to before you spend money or miles.
No advice
Nothing on Mapper is legal, tax, financial, or travel advice. We don’t sell tickets and we don’t take a cut of bookings. “No affiliate links” means we are not paid when you click out to PNM Now or an airline.
Acceptable use
Use Mapper for planning, sharing itineraries, and documented programmatic access.
The public JSON API at /api/route and shareable ?r= URLs are
allowed. Don’t overload the service, don’t attempt to bypass the website-only
flight-time endpoint (/api/flight-time), and don’t use Mapper to
mislead others about fares, miles, or schedules.
API and automated use
Calling /api/route, constructing share URLs, or embedding the map
means you accept these terms. Responses are unofficial great-circle estimates — not
the path a plane actually flies, not a schedule, and not a ticket. You may reuse the
JSON (including in other tools) so long as you keep that caveat and do not present
Mapper’s figures as airline data. We may rate-limit, change, or withdraw the API
without notice. See llms.txt for how to call it.
As-is; limitation of liability
Mapper is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that estimates are accurate, complete, or current.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sauces 201 LLC, PNM Now, and their operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost miles, status, tickets, or connections, arising from your use of Mapper. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us to use it (which is zero).
Some places don’t allow certain disclaimers. If that’s you, our liability is limited to the minimum the law requires.
Privacy
How we handle data is in the Privacy Policy. By using Mapper you also agree to that policy.

Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of law rules. If a court finds any part unenforceable, the rest still applies.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date above is the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
