Practical places first, then everyday favourites

Illustrative example. These places and tips show what you can create; they are not verified recommendations.

  1. Groceries

    A convenient supermarket on the way home.

  2. The laundry

    Check hours and services before your first visit.

  3. The park after work

    A short walk to unwind at the end of the day.

The first familiar places in a new city

A map organised around everyday needs: shopping, services and time off. Add checked addresses and practical notes. For healthcare or emergencies, refer people to official services rather than presenting personal advice as a guarantee.

How you do it

  1. 1

    The useful ones first

    Pharmacy, supermarket, doctor, laundry: what people look for in the first week. With Connect+, Suggestions find them around the address.

  2. 2

    Then the good ones

    The breakfast bar, the trattoria, the park, the cinema worth going to. With the reason underneath.

  3. 3

    Send the link on day one

    It opens with nothing to download. Every time you find a new place you add it, and the map grows along with their life here.

What happens when someone opens the link

People can open your map in their browser, read the notes and details you added, and open directions to a place. Viewing needs no account; saving a place to their own map requires sign-in.

They open the map when they need it, from their phone, and get to the pharmacy or the restaurant using their navigation app.

  • Opens in the phone browser
  • An account is needed to create or save
  • Directions open in an external navigation service
  • The interface is in English and Italian
