A Mapvera map opens straight in your web browser — there's nothing to download and no account to create. This guide points out the main parts so you can find your way around in seconds.
The two halves of the screen
Every map has two parts: the map itself, which you can zoom and drag around, and a list of places (the directory). On a computer the list sits in a panel beside the map; on a phone it sits in a sheet that slides up from the bottom of the screen.
Find a place
-
Browse the list
Scroll the directory to see every place on the map. Tap or click a name to jump straight to it.
-
Or search
If there's a search box at the top of the list, start typing a name — the list filters as you type.
-
Or tap it on the map
Every marker on the map is tappable. Tap one to open its details.
The place card
Opening a place brings up its card — the name, a photo or logo, and a short description if one was added. Many cards also have a More button that opens a website or booking page, and a Directions button that draws a walking route to get there.
The controls around the map
