A tourist map that gets visitors exploring
Destination marketers, visitor centres and local authorities want to show people what there is to do — but a static PDF map dates quickly and is unusable on a phone.
Ideal for: SightsRestaurants & terracesWalking routesEventsParking & transit
Short answer
- A tourist map puts sights, places to eat, routes and events on one map as clickable points, instead of in a leaflet or a PDF.
- No code needed: type locations in, or import them from a list you already have.
- Categories decide what visitors filter on — food, culture, nature — and every point gets its own card with a photo and a description.
- Publish it as a shareable link, or embed it on your destination's own site.
- Free to start; a custom domain and removing our branding are in the paid plans.
