Basic Map Checklist

Use this checklist to verify whether your map has a strong foundation. You can do much more, but this is the minimum setup for a clear, working map.

Design

  • Your map has a logo and background image. Settings > General
  • Your map has an intro text and a link to your website. Settings > General
  • Categories use your brand colors and a simple icon. Tip: keep it clear and use around 8 main categories.
  • Optional: an area boundary has been added to the map. Instructions: Add an area boundary

Places & routes

  • Every place or route has at least one image and a short description.
  • If your map has many routes, the interactive route network is enabled so all routes are shown in one calm color. Settings > Map > Interactive route network

Interaction

  • The QR code is enabled so visitors can quickly open the map on mobile. Settings > Interactions > Show QR code “Take this map on your phone”
  • On mobile, the map asks for the visitor location directly when opened. Settings > Map > Ask for location automatically

Technical

  • A custom domain is connected to the map (for example yourmap.domain.com). Tip: if you use a shared overarching domain, each new map may need to be linked to that domain again. We currently do this for you; send a short message to hello@wolfmaps.com. Instructions: Custom domain for your map
  • The map is embedded on your website. Instructions: Embed a map
