Live maps for festivals and markets, built in Toronto
Your event, on one live map.
Send us your vendor list and site plan. We'll turn them into a map people open on their phones to find food, stages and washrooms.
People scan a QR code on your signs, and the map opens in their browser.
You review the map before it goes public.
The nearest washrooms, how far each one is, and the way there.
First used at a Toronto BIA's two-day street festival, September 2026
What the report coversBefore the event
We build the map from what you already have
Send your vendor list and site plan in whatever form they're in. We place every pin, add your branding, and send you a private link to check it.
You send your vendor list and site planWe place every vendor, stage and washroom on a map of your site.
You send
- Your vendor or member list, in whatever form you keep it
- A site plan, or last year's printed map
- Your logo, and your sponsors' and funders' logos
- The stage schedule, if there is one
We do
- Put every vendor, stage, washroom and entrance where it really is
- Look up each business's logo, website and social links
- Match the categories and colours to your printed map
- Draw the site and its zones, and load the schedule
- Make the QR codes for your signs
Once it's built, the editor is yours, on a laptop or a phone. A moved pin updates on maps people already have open.
You can drag pins, edit listings, draw zones and add vendors from a spreadsheet. Menus come in from a spreadsheet or a photo of the menu board. You can also set your logo, colours and title sponsor, and pick a few stops for a short tour that first-time visitors see.
Want to see yours before deciding? Send us a link to your event and we'll build a first draft from what's already public.
During the event
Change it on the day, and see what people are looking for
You can keep correcting the map through the weekend, and it shows you what people searched for and didn't find.
Changes reach phones already open
Move a pin, rename a stall or add a place, and it updates on maps people already have open.
Announcements
Post one now, schedule it, or repeat it through the day. It shows on every open map within a minute, and can point to the place it's about.
Searches that found nothing
Every search with no result shows up on your console, so you can add what people are looking for while the event is still on.
Live numbers on your phone
Map opens, searches and taps as they happen. You can share a read-only view with your board or a sponsor, behind a passcode.
Support on the day
Text or email us a change during the event and we'll make it.
What visitors can do on the map
- Logos on the map
- Each business can show up as its own logo.
- Search
- By name, category or dish. It copes with typos and common spellings.
- A page for every place
- Photos, a description, opening hours and links.
- Menus
- Prices, popular picks, and dietary tags like vegan and gluten-free.
- Distance and direction
- How far each place is and which way to go. Directions open in Google Maps.
- The essentials
- Washrooms, water, first aid, info booths, ATMs, parking and transit, each with its own icon.
- Stage schedule
- What's on now and what's next at each stage, day by day.
- Saved places and sharing
- Save places with a heart, with no account, and send a link that opens the map on that spot.
Show everything, or keep each place to a name and a link. Menus, logos, descriptions and addresses are all optional, event by event. Comments stay off unless you turn them on.
For BIAs and business associations
Your members, your funders and your survey, on one map
We built the first one for a Toronto BIA's street festival in September 2026, with 75 member businesses on the map. Everything below was part of it.
- Your members, next to the festival
- Member businesses sit on the map in their own category, alongside the festival's vendors, stages and washrooms.
- What each member got
- The report lists how often each member's page was opened, so every business can see how often people looked it up.
- Funders on the first screen
- Grant and funder logos go on the first screen people see, and the report counts how often they were on screen.
- Your visitor survey
- A survey button in the map header and on the welcome screen. The report counts how many people the map sent to it.
- The same listing for everyone
- Logos, descriptions, menus and addresses are each optional, so every member can get an identical listing.
After the event
A report for your board, the Monday after
We write it from the map's numbers, in a form you can forward to your board, your sponsors and your funders. It includes what people searched for and couldn't find, so you know what to add next time.

- What people searched for, including the searches that found nothing
- Which businesses people opened, and how often each one was
- How many people the map sent to your survey
- How often your funders' and sponsors' logos were on screen
- How often people asked for directions, and the busiest hour
A few practical questions
Do visitors need to download an app?
No. The map opens in the phone's browser when someone scans your QR code or taps your link, on iPhone and Android alike.
What do you need from us?
Your vendor or member list in whatever form you keep it, a site plan or last year's printed map, and your logos, plus the date and the location. We'll send you a draft of the map to check before anyone else sees it. If you'd like to see one first, send us a link to your event and we'll build a draft from what's already public.
Can we change the map ourselves?
Yes. You get the editor on your phone and your computer. A moved pin reaches the maps people already have open, and an announcement shows on every open map within a minute. If you'd rather not, text us the change and we'll make it.
What does it cost?
We price each event on its own. Tell us the date and roughly how many people come, and we'll reply with a price.
Is it a fit for our event?
We take on a small number of events at a time. We work remotely, so your event can be anywhere in Canada or the US.
