It is the quickest way to get a map in front of people. You can be live in minutes, with no developers and no technical setup. Your visitors open it with one tap on a link or a QR code, with no app to install and no account to make. And it is affordable, so a small budget is no reason to go without a map. See all the features.

City guides and audio tours, museums and heritage sites, festivals and outdoor events, exhibitions, theme parks and zoos, conferences and seminars, parks and nature trails: anything that is easier to find, follow or enjoy on a map. See how people use it.

In minutes. Create an account, pick a map style, add your places and publish, with no developers and no technical setup. Your map gets its own address and a QR code to share straight away. See how it works.

No. A Mapifest map opens in any web browser, on a phone, a tablet or a computer: no app store, no account and no terms to accept.

Shortly after your map opens, its pages and a basic map are saved on the visitor's device, so they keep working without a signal. Visitors who want more can add the map to their home screen or save an offline copy, which brings the full map and the photos and audio you chose to include. It is always their choice, and there is no app store involved.

Yes, as often as you like. Publish a change and visitors see it within minutes: places update even on maps that are already open, and everything else the next time they open it. Nothing to reinstall. For news that can't wait, send a message to the visitors who turned on notifications.

Yes. Paste this into any page, with your map's address:

<iframe
  src="https://your-map.mapifest.app/"
  title="Our map"
  width="100%"
  height="600"
  allow="geolocation; fullscreen; clipboard-write"
  style="border:0"
></iframe>

allow="geolocation" lets visitors ask for directions from where they are.

Yes. Mapifest takes care of hosting, updates, messages and statistics, but your content is yours. Export your map, with its photos, audio and the map area you choose, and host it anywhere you like, at an https address you pick. An export is a snapshot, so when you change something, export again and upload the new copy. We're happy to help, but nothing stops you from doing it all yourself. The map and icon credits stay in place.

Yes. Mapifest apps comply with WCAG 2.1 level AA and the European standard EN 301 549, which the EU applies to public-sector websites and apps. Text stays readable in any brand color, links are underlined, and apps follow each visitor's zoom and dark-mode settings. If your organization needs an accessibility statement for your map, get in touch and we'll help.

No. Your map is served from a global content delivery network that grows with your audience, so a busy day is not a problem.

Mapifest is developed and operated by EXIT TRADE AND CARGO OÜ (EE101711078), a company in Estonia. It started with a simple idea: putting places on a map shouldn't take a developer, an app store or a sign-up wall. So we built a platform where anyone can make a map app people open with a link, whether it's a city guide, an audio tour, a festival or a venue. Questions, ideas, or a place worth mapping?
