Features

Visitors open a link or scan a QR code, and they're in: nothing to install or update, no account, no terms to accept, no cookie banner. The visitor's privacy is the default, not a setting.

Shortly after your map opens, its pages and a basic map are saved on the visitor's device, so they keep working when the signal drops. Visitors who want more can add the map to their home screen or save an offline copy, with the full map and the photos and audio you chose. It is always their choice, and there is no app store involved.

Walking, cycling and driving directions from where your visitors are to any place on your map, anywhere in the world. You decide whether your map offers them.

Mapifest apps comply with WCAG 2.1 AA and the European accessibility standard EN 301 549. Text stays readable in any brand color, links are underlined, and your map follows each visitor's zoom and dark-mode settings.

Pick a map style, add your places, press Publish. Your map app is live at its own address in minutes. No developers, no servers, nothing to configure. See how it works.

Choose from 40+ map styles (clean street maps, satellite and topographic), with a dark mode that follows your visitors' devices. Mark your places with 200 hand-picked icons or any of 40,000+ more, switch on 3D buildings, zoom out to a globe, and make it yours in your brand color.

Paste in the text you already have, from a document or a web page, and its headings, links and emphasis come with it. Drop in whole folders of photos and audio: pictures become a gallery, recordings a playlist that keeps playing on the lock screen.

Publish a change and visitors see it within minutes. Your places update even on maps that are already open, and everything else the next time they open it. Nothing to reinstall. When something can't wait, send a message straight to the visitors who turned on notifications.

See how many people open your map and what they look at, without cookies, consent banners or tracking anyone.

Prefer to work in code? The Mapifest API will let you manage your maps from your own systems: sync content, automate updates and build your own workflows.

Every map gets its own short address and a QR code. Visitors share any place with a tap, and the link shows a proper preview (title, description and photo) on social media and in messaging apps.

Every place is a real page with its own title, description and address, and search engines can find every one. A city guide can keep bringing in visitors long after you publish it.

Put your map inside your own website with one line of HTML, just like on our showcase site. It sits in your page as if it belonged there, and leaves your visitors' Back button alone.

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. We're happy to help, but nothing stops you from doing it all yourself.
