Make your Google Maps look like yours.
Maptide is a web app that lets you design a custom overlay on Google Maps and export it as a real, shareable Google Maps link - no screenshots, no third-party viewer, just a link that opens in the app your guests already use.

Same real park, styled three ways.
Concept preview - built by hand to show what Maptide's output will look like.
From blank map to branded link in three steps.
No design degree required. No technical setup. Under ten minutes start to share.
Draw it your way.
Sketch routes, zones, and pins right over Google Maps. Upload SVGs for custom markers, logos, and labels. Everything lives in your browser - nothing uploaded to a server.
Download your map.
One click turns your design into a Google-native file. No accounts, no waiting, ready to import right away.
Import to Google My Maps.
Drop the file into Google My Maps once. Share the link anywhere. Recipients get a real, interactive map - zoom, directions, save locations - on any device.
A picture of a map isn't a map.
Other tools hand you a static image or trap your work in their own viewer. Maptide gives you an actual Google Map. That means real zoom, real search, real turn-by-turn directions - on the app every guest already has installed.
- Static image - can't zoom or navigate
- Proprietary viewer - another app to open
- No directions, no save, no offline
- Breaks if the viewer goes down
- Real Google Map - zoom, search, navigate
- Opens in the app they already have
- Save places, get directions, works offline
- Backed by Google's infrastructure forever
For the people whose plans live on a map.

Venue, parking, hotel block, and reception - one link on the invite. Your guests navigate, not squint at a screenshot.

Cabin locations, the dock, fire pits, bathrooms. Share with the whole group before anyone arrives.
