A location map that shows people the way

A location map shows at a glance where you are - on your contact page, in an invitation, or alongside directions. With localthings you build one without code in your own branding, including a button that opens the map app on the visitor's phone.

Short answer
  • A location map shows where you are, with an explanation, a photo and a directions button that opens the map app on the phone.
  • You build it without code, in your own map style and colours and with your logo.
  • Several locations fit on one map: parking, entrances or all of your branches.
  • On Free you share through a permanent link; embedding on your contact page and the QR code start on Basic.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your locations

    Paste a website, a list or a CSV file, or let the assistant scan a site for you. Every location becomes a pin on the map.

  2. 2

    Set up the map

    Decide what each location card shows: photo, description, opening hours and your own fields. Then pick categories with their own colour and icon, a map style and areas if you need them.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from an ordinary embedded map?

A standard embedded map shows a pin and nothing else. A localthings location map carries your branding, an explanation and photos per location and a directions button - and you update it centrally without touching the embed.

Can I put several locations on one location map?

Yes. Add as many as you like - useful for branches, or for parking spots and entrances around your venue.

Can I make a location map for free?

Yes. You start free with one map and up to 100 locations, every map style, your own branding and a permanent public link. Embedding and a downloadable Studio QR start on Basic.
