Map & Saved Places

How to use

1. Type a place name or address in the search box and press Search. Matches appear in the side panel (below the map on narrow screens).
2. Click a result to fly the map there and drop a marker, then use "Save this place" to store it with a name and an optional note.
3. Press "My location" to read your position once, with your browser's permission, and fly the map to it.
4. You can also click anywhere on the map to drop a marker on an arbitrary point and save it.
5. Saved places are listed in the panel: click one to fly to it, or delete it from the same list.

Notes

Map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap. As with any web map, the tile servers can see your IP address and the map area you are viewing. Place searches are sent to Nominatim, the OpenStreetMap Foundation's search service, only when you press Search. Saved places are stored only in this browser's IndexedDB and are never sent to a server. Your location is read once, only when you press "My location"; it is never tracked. If you save that point as a place, its coordinates stay in this browser as part of that saved place.

FAQ

Does it offer directions or routing?

This version has no directions. It does place search, map display and saving points — nothing more.

Do saved places sync across devices?

No. They live only in this browser's IndexedDB, and clearing the browser's site data deletes them.

Why are some places missing from search?

Search is based on OpenStreetMap data, whose detail varies by region. Unregistered facilities and brand-new buildings may not be found.

Who can see what I search for?

Your query is sent to Nominatim, run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, and map tiles are fetched from OpenStreetMap's servers for the area you view. Neither your searches nor your saved places are sent to Yunedia Tools' servers.
