What is FacilMap?

FacilMap is a privacy-friendly, open-source versatile online map that combines different services based on OpenStreetMap and makes it easy to find places, plan routes, and create custom maps full of markers, lines, and routes. The application offers a range of features, including the ability to choose from various map styles for different purposes such as roads, topography, cycling, hiking, public transportation, and water navigation. Users can search for places and view their associated information, including websites and opening hours. The route planning functionality allows users to calculate routes and adjust them by dragging, with an elevation profile available for display. The interface is designed to be smartphone-friendly, enabling users to access the map on the go. FacilMap also provides the capability to create and share custom maps with markers, lines, and routes, as well as the ability to open and save various file formats such as GPX, KML, OSM, and GeoJSON. Users can define custom styles for markers, lines, and routes, and the application will automatically generate a legend. Additionally, users can define custom form fields for the details of markers, lines, and routes. The platform also offers an API to embed custom maps into a website and to modify them programmatically. Extensive documentation is available to support users in leveraging the full capabilities of FacilMap
