A map that remembers why you saved the place.
Start a collection for the one thing you keep track of, and give every location the details you'd actually want later. The coffee that was worth the walk, the trailhead with parking, the swim spot nobody posts about.
Public or private, yours either way. Share it with a link when it's worth sharing, and let friends add the ones you missed. Free.
Every location remembers what you'd forget
A pin drops a dot on a map and tells you nothing six months later. A collection defines its own fields, so every location you save records the things you'll actually want.
You pick the fields when you start: text, a number, a single or multiple choice, a range, a date, a list. A coffee map asks for the roast and whether there's a plug. A swim map asks the water temperature and how far the walk is.
Add a field later and it's optional, so nothing you already saved goes stale. Every location takes up to ten photos too, which is usually the field doing the most work.
Start with one place
Name what it's about
One map per thing you keep track of. Coffee, swim spots, the flats worth viewing. Narrow beats comprehensive.
Pick the fields
The two or three things you'd want to know before going back. You can add more later.
Add the first location
Drop the pin, take the photo, write the line you'd want to read in a year.
Keep it to yourself, or don't
A private collection is invisible to everyone but you and anyone you invite. Nobody can find it, and nobody can tell that it exists. Make it public and it gets a page anyone can open, with a link you can send and a map that works on a phone.
Who can see it and who can add to it are two different settings. A public map can still be yours alone to edit. Or invite the friends who know the places you don't, and turn on approval if you'd rather see what they added before it shows. The guide explains what each setting does.
It travels as a link
A link
Every public collection has an address. Send it in a message, put it in a bio.
An embed
One script tag drops the live map into a site you already run.
How embedding worksA WordPress post
A block or a shortcode, if that's where you write.
The WordPress plugin
What people keep
One map, one subject. A few of the shapes that takes:
Coffee worth the walk
The roast, whether there's a plug, and whether you can hear yourself think.
Swim spots
Water temperature, how far it is from the car, and whether anyone else knows about it.
Bookshops
What each one is actually good at, so you know where to try for the thing you're after.
The hometown list
Where you send visitors, so you stop rebuilding the same message every time someone comes.
Flat hunting
Every viewing with the rent, the light, the walk to the station, and the photo you took in the hallway.
Dog-friendly
Which places mean it, which ones mean the terrace only, and where the water bowl is.
Cheap eats
What you paid, what you had, and whether it's still worth it.
Weekend hikes
Distance, how hard it was, where the parking is, and whether the cafe at the end was open.
