Africa is 14 times the size of Greenland.
Our world maps show it.

On 4 September 2026 the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution “Correct the Map” (UN press release). It recommends equal-area projections such as Equal Earth instead of Mercator for world and continent maps.

maps.express draws your world and continent maps in Equal Earth on request: from the same data, in the same design, as SVG or PNG.

AI reads stops and transport from your text, and fixed checks verify every result. You look over the places and export. With a clear itinerary that takes three minutes – often less.

Unclear places or elaborate design take a little longer. SVG and PNG are prepared for your print layout; you handle print approval and CMYK conversion in your layout software as usual.

01 / IMPROVE MAPQuick fix included · AI in pilot

A second look before it goes to print.

“Improve map” finds hidden names, lines running through labels and stops at the edge of the sheet – and proposes fixes: route roads, free up names, fit the frame. With AI, a vision model also looks at legibility and design. You see every change beforehand in a comparison and can simply switch it off.

Example: the same Iceland trip before and after routing the roads – both untouched exports.

AI suggests. You decide.

AI suggests short map names and separates main stops from side trips. You compare original and suggestion and keep only what fits.

Illustration of the suggestion feature; it always works from your own itinerary.
03 / AUTOMATIC PLACEMENTManual adjustments supported

More space for readable names.

Labels arrange themselves. For the final touch, drag a name where you want it – leader lines keep it connected to its place.

Try it right here. Very dense maps sometimes still need a manual touch.

Road routes at a click

Bus and car legs follow the real roads – for all legs at once if you like.

Every way to travel

Car, bus, train, ship, flight and on foot – each with its own line style and one shared legend.

Terrain and layers

Show or hide terrain, peaks, water, roads, places and borders one by one, each in three strengths.

From neighbourhood to world tour

From city maps with streets and buildings to world maps, even across the date line.

Add places with precision

Search places and sights right in the editor, and add or replace stops without rebuilding the route.

Tell more with symbols

Add a symbol for accommodation, a hire car or a station — with or without a label.

Three languages

Studio and map labels in German, Swiss German spelling and English.

Pick up where you left off

Stops can be hidden without losing the route. The editing state travels with the export, so you can reopen the map later.

Right on the map. Easy to understand.

Select a point. Change a name. Move a label. The relevant settings appear alongside it.

For teams, platforms and AI assistants

Maps that
make themselves.

Behind the studio is a platform. So maps can also be made without a single click in the editor: from your travel system, your editorial system or in a chat with an AI assistant.

In pilot · access on request

REST API

Create, edit, render and export maps – with revision protection, preview images and print export.

MCP server

AI assistants such as Claude turn an itinerary into a finished map, change it in conversation and open it in the studio on request.

WebMCP in the studio

A browser agent works the studio through 13 tools – you confirm every change yourself.

Embedding & brand profile

The studio inside your platform – with your fonts, colours, export rules and your sign-in.

For editorial teams and tour operators we set up brand fonts, export rules and the link to your travel system – to fit your workflow.

More about integration ↓
Custom integration and automation

We can connect travel data from your booking and editorial systems and tailor maps.express to your workflows. The API for automatically created print maps and the MCP server for AI assistants are running as a pilot – access on request.

Setup, operation and support are agreed depending on scope. Note: your font and data licences must cover the intended use.

Quick answers

Maps should be simple.
So should the answers.

Do I need experience with mapping software?

No. You edit places, names and connections right on the map; no GIS knowledge needed. The demo shows the flow with a sample trip.

Which trips can I show?

Round trips by car or bus, rail, sea and air connections, hikes, city walks and trips around the world – even across the date line. A single place is enough for a personal poster.

Which designs and sizes are available?

Eleven designs and the paper sizes A5, A4, A3, A2 and Letter, each in portrait or landscape. For websites you export at a fixed pixel width. Colours, layers and labels can then be adjusted freely.

How are AI results checked?

With fixed rules. Every stop the AI recognises must be backed by a passage from your input; for arrivals and departures the passage must also name the transport. Instructions to the AI hidden in the text are ignored. You then pick the right places in the preview. That catches many errors – but the final check of the content stays with you.

Can AI assistants create maps for me?

Yes, as a pilot: through our MCP server, assistants such as Claude create maps from an itinerary, change them and return preview images. In the studio, a browser agent can help via WebMCP – you confirm every change yourself.

Can I use the map in Illustrator or InDesign?

Yes. SVG is meant for vector workflows; PNG can be placed in any common layout program. Editable SVG text needs the matching font; compact SVGs contain outlines instead. Best check the import once in your program version.

Where does the attribution go in a catalogue?

OpenStreetMap must be credited – in publications wherever your other sources are listed, for example in the credits. The address openstreetmap.org/copyright must be written out. View requirements

Can I edit the file again later?

Yes, if you include the editing state when exporting and the metadata stays intact. Changes you make afterwards in a graphics program don't flow back into the studio draft.

Can I connect my travel data?

Yes, in custom installations: we connect your travel API through a suitable adapter. For a new data provider we first check structure, permissions and the fields needed.

Your next journey deserves a good map.
