You don't need to build an app just to publish a map, and your users don't want to install the 101st app on their phones.
With Tasmap, every map can be added to the home screen and opened like a native app on phone, tablet, and desktop. You update once, and everyone gets the latest version the next time they open it. No redownload needed.

|---|---|
| Once the map is finished, you can publish it right away. | The map cannot see the light of day until the entire software product is finished. |
| Open a link, scan a QR code, or embed it on a website, and people can view it immediately. | People have to decide whether this map deserves another app on their phone. |
| Fix a typo, change a route, or add a place. Save it, and the update is live. | Even changing a punctuation mark means going through tickets, testing, and version updates. |
| The people who know the place best can update the content themselves, anytime. | The person writing the code becomes the bottleneck for every content update. |
| Text, places, and routes come together naturally, so it reads like a dedicated guide. | You have to design a database structure before you can awkwardly fit the story inside. |
| Add your brand colors, and that is enough to build trust. | You have to handle a pile of packaging unrelated to the map: app store listing, app icon, splash screen, and ongoing maintenance. |
| Starts at $9 per month. | At least $5000 just to build a usable app. |
No. Tasmap uses a Progressive Web App (PWA). Users tap 'Add to Home Screen' in the browser, and it appears like a normal app on their device. It opens full-screen without a browser URL bar.
No. Once you save changes in the editor, anyone opening that map via link or home screen icon will see the latest version the next time they open it.
Yes. You can upload your own logo as the PWA icon and customize the loading screen so the map feels like your product, not Tasmap's.
