Mapvera Interactive Maps
Free, interactive maps for any space. Host them on our own platform, drop in the WordPress plugin, or embed them anywhere with a simple shortcode. Visitors zoom, search, tap a landmark and follow turn by turn directions on any device.
Mapvera is our own map platform and a WordPress plugin that also drops into any website, or runs with no website at all. It turns any image or floor plan into a living, interactive map people actually explore, with clickable landmarks, 360° location shots, opening hours, live GPS and accessible turn by turn directions between one point or many, plus QR codes and short links to any map, place or route. It is lightning fast and scales from a single visitor to hundreds of millions with no servers to manage, and it keeps working offline. Best of all, the platform is free. We design and build your map, then publish it at map.au under your own address, or embed it straight into your site.
The fine print, since you asked. The free tier is the full, high-powered platform, not a stripped-back demo: the same edge that scales from one visitor to millions, with real wayfinding, offline, GPS and 360° built in. It stays free because that edge costs us almost nothing to run, and every team gets a free address like yourname.map.au from day one. What funds it is the optional paid side. We design and build maps from your artwork for a fee, and the Enterprise upgrade unlocks branded domains (maps.yourbrand.com), A.I. features that do cost real compute per visitor, SLAs and hands-on support. Need something we have not built yet? Enterprise teams can fast-track the roadmap, get it first, and make the whole platform stronger for everyone. Those paid services are exactly what keep the free tier free.

A map people actually explore, not a PDF they pinch and squint at
Every place has a story. Mapvera puts it on a map people actually want to explore.
Most venue maps are a flat image someone exported once and forgot. Mapvera makes a map that moves, one visitors zoom into, search, and follow like they would any map on their phone.
There is a moment every visitor knows: standing in a big, unfamiliar place, turning a static map sideways, trying to work out where they are and which way is which. It is a small, universal frustration, and it quietly costs venues in missed shops, late arrivals, and queues at the information desk for questions a good map would have answered. Mapvera exists to remove that moment.
The trick is that a Mapvera map behaves like the maps people already use every day. You pinch to zoom, type a few letters to jump to a place, and tap a landmark to see photos, hours and a share button. Ask for directions and the route animates between where you are and where you want to be, with a realistic walking time attached. None of it needs teaching. It simply works the way a map should.
Because real places are rarely flat, Mapvera stacks levels like basements, mezzanines and sky decks, and lets visitors switch floors in a tap. It offers step-free routes that avoid stairs, so a parent with a pram or a visitor using a wheelchair gets a path they can actually take. Accessibility here is not a checkbox; it is a route on the map.
It is built to survive the real world, too. Maps are served fast from the edge and keep working offline once loaded, which matters most exactly where reception dies, whether that is a stadium concourse, a basement car park or a packed festival field. Deep links and QR codes let a poster, a ticket or a sign drop someone straight onto the right spot, and the whole thing is mobile-first from the start.
And it stays yours. We host your map at map.au under your own address or embed it invisibly in your existing site, brand it to match, wire in your own Google Analytics, and for larger teams add single sign-on, enforced two-factor and enterprise controls. We design and build the map from your artwork, then hand you something living you can keep current as your space changes, a map worth exploring, not a picture worth ignoring.
Fast everywhere.
Down nowhere.
Served from the edge and resilient by design. Press play to see how Mapvera stays fast and secure at any scale.
