Product

Everything guests expect from a map — in one product.

pixel.map runs as a white-label map for your tourism destination.

The whole first, the single thing second.

On opening, your region is there as a whole. Destinations are gathered into groups that dissolve as you zoom in, until single destinations remain — from overview to place, without anyone having to set anything.

Every destination decides from which level of data quality a place appears on the map. Setting that threshold is how you make sure guests never see half-finished entries.

Overview map of a region with clustered destinations; the number in each cluster says how many destinations it holds

Your categories, agreed.

Guests narrow the map down by category — culture, food, restaurants, nature and more. What they see is a jointly agreed category tree: your existing classifications, and those of your data suppliers, are mapped onto it once during setup. Your editors go on maintaining the categories they know, and the map shows the agreed ones.

Alongside categories, whole content types can be switched on and off: places, accommodation, events, experiences.

A search that tells apart what is being looked for.

A term like "Burg" returns more than one kind of hit: public transport stops, a category, an address and individual destinations, each labelled. Choosing the category takes you into the filter rather than to a single result. The search finds places, categories, tours, transport stops, addresses and place names. Accommodation, events and experiences are reached through the result list's filters, not through the search.

From the list to the destination.

The result list sits beside the map. It follows the current view or can be pinned, counts how many destinations are in frame, and can be re-sorted.

A click opens the destination: images to enlarge, description, opening hours with a note on whether it is open right now, website, email, phone and a button that starts the route there. Accommodation also shows stars, price and a booking link; tours bring their GPX file and the 3D flyover.

Every destination has an address of its own that opens it directly — something you can pass on without the recipient having to search first.

Plan a day.

Guests gather places, tours and tips from the guide into one trip. pixel.map lays out the route automatically and optimises the order, whether by car, on foot, by bike or by bus and train. The result is a day plan to print and a link that can be shared. The trip planner is part of the full application — try it in the demo.

See what is within reach.

From any point, the map shows what can be reached within half an hour — on foot, by bike, by bus and train. Bus and train depend on the timetable data of your region; where they are missing, so is the answer.

From here to there, without a car too.

Every destination has a button that starts the route there — on foot, by bike or by public transport including changes. The same applies here: transit information is only as good as your region's timetable data.

From the valley path to the summit tour.

Tours lie on the map as a line, with elevation profile, a GPX file to take along and, if you like, a flyover of the terrain. Guests see what awaits them before they set off.

Your brand. Your map.

Logo, accent colour and map style are set up per destination, and your own typeface and domain are possible too. And whoever runs several brands gets several maps from one build — one source, one deploy chain, each map with its own face.

How it gets onto your site.

In TYPO3 the map is a content element: your editors choose content types, categories and places in the backend, like any other content. For Astro there is a component. Your places to visit, tours and events come from dataCycle; for any other site the map is a widget you embed once. Set up once — after that, your editors maintain the map themselves, without a developer and without a ticket with us. A tenant is online in minutes, not weeks.
