Our Vision
Where Map Garden is headed.
Mission
Make it effortless for any community to map the places, services, and events that matter, and for anyone to find them.
Principles
- Community-first. Pins are public and built by the people who know a place best.
- Inclusive by default. Works on mobile and desktop, light and dark, with care for accessibility.
- Privacy-respecting. We collect the minimum needed to run the service. See our Privacy Policy.
- Open and transparent. Built in the open on GitHub.
What works today
- Create points of interest anywhere on the globe.
- Special pin types for Food Banks and similar organizations, with schedules and 24/7 hours.
- One-time and scheduled events with recurrence.
- Filter the map by pin type and other qualities.
- Search the map by address or place name.
What we want to build next
The Map Garden team has many plans and even more ideas, including richer pin types, better tools for local organizations, improved discovery, and ways for communities to collaborate on the places they care about. Tell us what you'd like to see by opening a feature request.
