Every place has a story. Humap helps you tell it. From heritage trails to hidden histories, you can use our platform to create interactive digital maps that highlight your area’s cultural character, attract new visitors, and showcase what makes your community unique.
It’s simple to use, beautifully designed, and works on any device—perfect for local authorities, tourism boards, museums, and other place-based campaigns.
We’re already working with councils and cultural partners to put places on the map:
Scarborough Museums & Galleries – created the Scarborough Atlas, showcasing local history and collection items across the town
North Devon Council – mapping sites of cultural and historical importance across the district
Yarmouth Council – documenting the town’s rich maritime and civic heritage
Islington Council & Museum – building Islington’s Pride, a public LGBTQ+ heritage map rooted in place-based storytelling
Whether it’s a rural parish or a major city borough, Humap helps councils and communities shine a light on what makes their place special.
Today’s visitors are looking for more than leaflets and signage—they want to explore places on their own terms. With Humap, you can curate walking trails, oral histories, archival collections, videos, and local knowledge into one seamless experience.
Let people:
Follow themed walking trails, linked into the real world with QR codes
Experience culture alongside utilities and amenities, like car parks and restaurants
Expose what makes your community special to a global audience online, sharing it with the world
Explore from home before they even arrive
No app downloads. Just a browser-based experience that works on phones, tablets, or desktops.
Place isn’t just about geography—it’s about people, memory, and identity. Humap gives you a way to bring those layers together into a single, easy-to-use platform. You can:
Link map points to local business pages, visitor centres, or external content
Showcase archival material and collections
Highlight underrepresented histories
Invite visitors to share their own stories, deepening engagement and community pride
Whether you’re trying to attract tourists, engage locals, or strengthen your cultural offering, Humap gives you the tools to tell your story with depth and dignity.
No one wants to feel like a tourist. Humap’s user-generated content feature is perfect for gathering real-time insights and opinions from your visitors and residents alike, giving them a platform to pool local knowledge and build relationships.
