The benefits of an interactive map are endless. It’s the way to discover places and gain experiences. Adventure! We love using our own maps too.

The future is here; our first cases with the Open Data Platform Plaece

From tech-savvy individuals to office workers and everyone in between; anyone can create a map with Wolf Maps. The best part? Filling your map with hotspots. That can, of course, be done manually – because those spots are still undiscovered. But now you can also use a (touristic) database in Wolf Maps: Plaece, from Insiders (also known as Open Data Platform - ODP). It lets you fill your map super fast with existing locations, content, and routes. And all the other benefits? We share them with you in this blog.
