Map marketplace

A local who knows every quiet beach, a friend who mapped the coffee of a whole district — their maps are yours in one tap, on top of your own.

How it works

Anyone in TapMap can publish a map. Published maps sit in the marketplace with their name, author, number of points and how many people downloaded them. Empty maps never show up, and the most downloaded come first.

«Download» adds the map to «My maps» as a layer. Switch it off when you don't need it and back on later — the points appear at once, with no loading. When the author changes the map, your copy updates by itself.

As many layers as you like

Several maps can be on at once: yours, downloaded ones and TapMap's main map. Big directory maps — all the stores of a chain in a city, say — never cover the cafés: their points come in as you zoom and take only the space left.

Search finds maps

Start typing a map's name in search and it shows up among maps, even without the hyphens and capitals. Picking it switches the map on and downloads it if you don't have it yet. Which maps are on is kept in your account and survives a new phone.

Publishing your own

Build a map, add points and a description, and switch on «Publish on the marketplace». Any map can be reported if it breaks the rules.

How to start

1. Open the layers sheet on the map and tap «Map marketplace».
2. Find a list by name or pick one of the popular ones.
3. Tap «Download» — the map lands in «My maps» and switches on as a layer.
