YouMap
Community maps & local guides
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Stop losing great recommendations in the group chat, put them on a map instead. No one maps a place better than those who know and love it. Map what you love with YouMap.
YouMap is the social mapping platform designed for people who actually go places. Whether you are planning a cross-country road trip with friends, tracking the best hidden ramen spots in the city, building a local guide for your neighborhood, or mapping the causes and interests your community cares about. YouMap turns your interests into a living, breathing community.
Most maps are static and generic. YouMap is different. Every map starts as a blank canvas where you and your community can add posts, and share what's happening in real time. It is one part social network, one part community builder, and entirely yours.
BUILD YOUR WORLD, YOUR WAY
• Custom Communities: Create maps for anything from “Best Dog Parks” to “Secret Skate Spots” to causes your community advocates for.
• Collaborate with Friends: Invite others to add their own posts, photos, and tips.
• Pro-Level Tools: Use custom post templates to make your recommendations look stunning and professional.
• Hyper-Local Discovery: Find maps created by locals and experts who know the area better than any algorithm.
FROM FIRST POST TO THRIVING COMMUNITY
Don’t worry about a blank screen. Our new Map Setup wizard guides you through every step of building your community identity, setting the rules, and growing your audience. You bring the ideas; we provide the structure.
KEEP YOUR WORLD ORGANIZED
With a redesigned sidebar and an infinite-scroll library, your maps are always one tap away. Join other creators, travelers, and locals building a more human map of the world.
