One map your whole community keeps.
Start a collection about one thing, and let the people who know the place add to it. Invite a few, or open it to anyone. Nothing goes live until you say so.
Every location gets the fields your map needs, a photo, and a spot on a map you can share, embed, or drop into WordPress. Free, no account needed to contribute.
How it works
Start a collection
Name what it's about, pick the fields each location should carry, and draw the area it covers if it has one.
Choose who can add
Keep it to yourself, invite the people you trust, or open it to anyone who finds it. Change your mind any time.
Approve and keep it growing
New locations wait in your queue if you want them to. Say yes, and they're on the map for everyone.
Who can add is your call
Only you
You and the editors you name. A map the group publishes and the public reads.
Invite only
Send a link. Whoever opens it can add locations as a contributor, and you can make any of them an editor later.
Open to anyone
Anyone who finds the map can add a location, no account needed, checked by a quick captcha. The map grows from people you never met.
Nothing goes live until you say so
Turn on approval and every new location waits in your moderation queue, whether it came from a member or a stranger. You see the photo, the description and the fields before anyone else does. Approve it and it's live; reject it and it's gone. Editors you name can review alongside you.
Or skip the queue. A collection your own group keeps can publish every addition straight away, and you can switch approval on later if the map outgrows the people you know. Anonymous submissions always pass a captcha, and the guide explains what each setting does.
Every location carries what your map needs
A collection isn't a list of pins. Each one defines its own fields, so a location records the things this map is about and nothing else.
A field can be text, a number, a single or multiple choice, a range or a list. A trail map asks for difficulty and distance; a mural map asks for the artist and the year; a fridge map asks what's stocked and when it was last checked.
A collection that tracks problems can give every location a status, open, in progress or resolved, so the map shows what got fixed as well as what's wrong.
It goes where your group already is
A link
Every public collection has an address. Send it to the group chat, print it on a flyer.
An embed
One script tag puts the live map on your own site.
How embedding worksA WordPress post
A block or a shortcode, and readers can add locations from the post.
The WordPress plugin
Who it's for
Any group whose members know places the organizer doesn't. A few of the shapes that takes:
Neighborhood associations
Where the new bench went, which crossing still floods, the mural that went up over the weekend.
Hiking and cycling clubs
Trailheads, water sources and the bridge that washed out last week, reported by the member who was just there.
Schools and parent groups
Safe walking routes, pickup spots and the crossing that needs a guard, kept by the parents who use them every morning.
Civic reporting
Potholes, broken streetlights, illegal dumping, each with a status from open to resolved so people can see what got fixed.
Heritage and history societies
Every marker, plaque and lost building, with the detail only the member who researched it knew.
Festival and event teams
Stages, stalls, toilets and first aid, corrected by the volunteers standing in front of them.
Mutual aid and community groups
Fridges, food banks, warm spaces and free shelves, kept current by the people running them.
Street art collectives
A living archive that grows every time someone spots a piece nobody had logged, photo included.
