Message from MAPS.ME team

In this difficult time, we appeal to MAPS.ME users. It will all get back to normal and we are going to be free to roam the planet. In the meantime, look at what we have prepared.

Dear travelers

Like many others, we are seeing the impact of recent events on the travel industry and our lives in general. We’re also saddened by the headlines, the sight of empty cities, numerous canceled flights, and understand that not all businesses are making it through this time without sustaining substantial losses.

The primary concern at this time is health. We love traveling and experiencing new emotions, but for the first time, we urge you to stay home. When life gets back to normal, we’ll turn our dreams into reality and head out to see the world.

We work for you

For small- and medium-sized businesses

Many people are going through a rough time right now. Especially those who are forced to close their beloved businesses during the quarantine. We want to support small — and medium-sized companies with advertising. You can place an ad in our app for 3 months for just $1 (£1), we’ll inform you later on with a push notification.
Just search the app for your cafe, hotel, bar, or other location that you own, sign up as the owner, and launch your ad campaign. Find a full description of how to take advantage of this promotion here. If your location isn’t on the map yet, we have detailed instructions on how to add it here. We’ll be happy if travelers see your company on the map, use your services, and help your business recover faster.

For all MAPS.ME users

We also have a small gift for all users eager to get back to exploring new countries and cities. In an upcoming update, we’ll release a free three-day subscription period for the guides catalog, we’ll inform you later on with a push notification.

Self-isolation offers an opportunity to learn new things and spend alone time with yourself and your family.Here’s what we`ve done to entertain you a bit and help keep your travel spirits up even during this period:

• We have created the Online Travel category so you can discover new experiences even from your home. Of course, this doesn’t replace the real deal, but you can still go on a virtual reality journey. See broadcasts of performances by famous theaters, virtual tours of museums, and online cameras from the most interesting places in the world in our collections.
• We help you to have fun while still benefiting the community. For this purpose, we wrote in detail about how to add new places or edit existing ones in OpenStreetMap. That will allow millions of users to benefit from relevant information when they start traveling again. Find out how to help the travel community by editing the map.
• In our travel blog, we collect inspirational stories, ideas, and life hacks. Dozens of articles about travel life are waiting for you.
• We entertain you on social media channels. Check out our platforms to stay in touch, keep up with app news, and learn about unique places around the world so you can save them in MAPS.ME for future trips.

Thank you for reading this letter.
We hope you return to regular life shortly after this trying time. We’ll see you at MAPS.ME very soon. ;)

Lots of love,
MAPS.ME Team
