The Mapme Editor makes it easy to create engaging interactive maps without any programming or coding knowledge.
Watch the introduction tutorial below to get started:
Focus Your Map on the Area of Interest
When you create a new map, Mapme lets you search for a country, region, or city to quickly center the map on the area you plan to map.
This gives you a more useful starting view instead of displaying the entire world.
As you add locations, the map view can automatically adjust to fit your content. You can also manually control the initial map view at any time. Learn more about setting the map view.
Set Up Your Map Home
Think of the Map Home as the homepage of your map. It introduces visitors to your map before they start exploring locations.
Start by adding:
- Map title – Give your map a clear and meaningful name.
- Description – Briefly explain what the map is about.
- Logo or image – Optional, but useful for branding and visual context.
Choose Between Categories or Storytelling
Mapme supports two main ways to organize the map experience:
- Storytelling Map – Locations are presented one after another, creating a guided experience that visitors can scroll through.
- Map with Categories and Filters – Locations are organized into categories, making it easier for visitors to browse and filter larger amounts of information.
If you choose to create a map with categories, we recommend creating a few main categories before adding your content. You can always add, edit, or reorganize them later.
Start Faster with the Map Template Gallery
Don’t want to build your map from scratch? Start with a professionally designed template and customize it with your own locations, content, branding, and media.
Templates give you a ready-made structure and design, helping you launch faster while still making the map your own.
Populate Your Map
Add locations using the method that works best for your project.
You can:
- Add locations individually using Search or Drop a Pin in the Editor.
- Add Nearby Places to find and add existing restaurants, shops, hotels, services, attractions, and other places within a selected area.
- Import locations in bulk from a CSV or Excel file using the Import feature.
- Copy locations from another map in your account.
Add Nearby Places is especially useful when you want to quickly enrich your map with existing businesses, amenities, and points of interest without researching and adding each location manually.
Each location can include detailed information and interactive content such as:
- Location name
- Address and map view
- Description with links and basic formatting such as bold and italic text, or more advanced customization using HTML and CSS
- Media such as images, PDFs, videos, audio, 360° tours, and webcams
- Action button for calls to action such as Book Now, Learn More, or Visit Website
- Drawings such as lines and shapes that provide additional visual context
You can also reorder locations by dragging them in the Editor.
Customize Your Map
Mapme includes a wide range of customization options to match your brand, content, and use case.
You can customize:
- Base map styles
- Markers
- Map animations
- Drawings and shapes
- Directions and other interactive map settings
