Frequently asked questions

Is MapBuilder free?

Yes. Creating and sharing community maps is free to start. We may add optional paid features later, but the core of building and growing a map stays free.

Do I need an account?

You need a free account to create a map and manage it. Whether visitors need an account to add places depends on how you set up your map.

Who can add places to my map?

That's up to you. MapBuilder is designed for open, community contribution — you share a link and your community adds places, photos, and tips. You stay in control of your map and can remove anything that doesn't belong.

Are my maps public?

Public maps are built to be discovered by people searching for your topic. If you'd rather keep a map for a smaller group, share the link only with the people you choose.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You can create a map, add places, and share it without writing any code.

How do I moderate contributions?

As the map owner you can review and remove places that are off-topic, inaccurate, or inappropriate, keeping your map useful for everyone.
