What it does
No API key, no billing
The map uses OpenStreetMap: nothing to sign up for, and no key that stops working.
Nearest store first
Visitors search by town, postcode or store name and see the stores sorted by distance, in kilometres or miles, within the radius they choose.
Near me
The visitor’s location, given by their browser, sorts the stores by distance. It never leaves the browser.
CSV import and export
Bring hundreds of stores from Excel or Google Sheets at once. The columns are matched for you.
Directions
A link under each store opens the route in Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap.
Privacy friendly
No cookies and no tracking, and the map can wait until the visitor asks for it.
