Make an interactive venue map
For an event, a site, a park or a building you want to show visitors where everything is. An interactive venue map works on a phone, is always current, and lets visitors search and filter for themselves.
- An interactive venue map is a map of your site or building on which visitors search and filter themselves, instead of a printed map or a PDF.
- No code or GIS software needed: you draw the areas straight onto the map and place facilities as pins.
- Visitors open it from a QR code on site or a link — no app required.
- When the layout changes you edit one point and visitors see it straight away.
- Free to start; a custom domain and removing our branding are in the paid plans.
A venue map we built ourselves
For Noorderzon 2026 in Groningen we made the map next to this one — with the same steps as above. Click into it: it is the real, published map.
- 432 points across the site: stages, food, first aid and info points.
- Visitors filter by category instead of scanning a printed map.
- Every point has its own card with a description and opening hours.
- One QR code or link, which you update without republishing.
How it works
- 1
Set your area
Zoom in on your location and, if you want, draw areas, zones or a route on the map.
- 2
Put the facilities on it
Mark entrances, food, toilets, stages or desks as pins, with an explanation and a colour per type.
- 3
Share by QR code or embed
Put a QR code up on site or embed the map on your website — visitors follow it all on their phone.

Frequently asked questions
Can I draw areas, not just pins?
Yes. Alongside pins you can draw shapes and zones — for a festival site, a parking zone or a nature reserve. Try it interactively on our page about drawing areas on a map.
Does the map work on mobile?
Yes. It runs straight in the browser on any phone — visitors do not need to install an app.
