For creators whose videos visit real places

Turn your video archive into a map your audience can explore.

We handle the initial mapping; you retain the ability to review and correct your locations.

Tell us your channel and the videos you want included, and we put the places from those videos on your own map, each pin linked to its video. You check every pin before your page goes live.

Illustrative demo data

How it works

Three steps from your channel to a shareable map.

  1. Step 1:Choose your channel and handle

    Reserve your page address and tell us which channel and which videos to include.

  2. Step 2:We map agreed videos

    We place each visit from those videos on your map, with the date, the context and a link back to the video.

  3. Step 3:Review and share your page

    Check every pin, ask for corrections, then share your page wherever your audience already is.

What you get

What the service does today, and what is planned. New viewers, subscribers or income are not promised.

Included now

  • Older videos stay findable

    Someone browsing a place can find the video where you were there, however long ago you posted it.

  • Every pin leads back to YouTube

    Pins link to your video. We count clicks on that link, never views or subscribers.

  • Your links on one page

    Your channel, your social profiles and the promotional links you choose sit next to your map.

  • Done for you, corrected by you

    We do the initial mapping. You review it and can ask for corrections at any time.

  • Honest labels

    Negative and mixed reviews, closed places, old visits and approximate locations are labelled as such.

On the roadmap
