What's on a place card

All guides

Open a place — from a search result, the list, or by tapping its pin — and Mapvera shows its place card: a popup (a bottom sheet on phones, a side card on desktop) with everything you've told visitors about that spot.

What a card can show

Every element is optional — a card shows only the parts you've filled in, top to bottom:

ElementWhere it comes from
Icon + nameA round thumbnail icon (or the place's initials) next to its name.
Logo (instead of the above)If a place has a Logo, one branded image replaces both the icon and the name.
Main imageA large photo shown full-width under the heading.
Category chipsA scrollable row of the categories the place belongs to — each tappable to open that category.
ButtonsDirections, More and Share, depending on what's available (see below).
DescriptionThe place's full description text, with the paragraph breaks you wrote preserved.
The category chips scroll sideways, so a place can belong to many categories without the card growing — tap any chip to jump to that category's places.

The buttons

Which buttons appear depends on the map and the place:

  1. Directions

    Shown when the place can be routed to on a map with wayfinding turned on. Tapping it starts directions to this place.

  2. More

    Shown when the place has a link set. It opens that link — your website, a menu, a booking page. You can rename it and choose whether it opens in a new tab.

  3. Share

    Shown when sharing is enabled. It reveals options to copy a link to this exact place or send it via your device, Facebook or WhatsApp.

Opening, minimising and closing

On a phone the card rises as a sheet you can drag up for the full description or down to peek at the map behind it; the × in the corner closes it. Arriving via a shared or QR link opens the card minimised, so the map — the thing you followed the link to see — is front and centre first.

Each element has its own guide: Add images and logos to place cards, Write great place descriptions, Set up the More button and The place-card Share button.
