Tasmap

Tasmap is the Canva of Maps. Our goal is to enable anyone, even without any engineering or design background, to create beautiful, professional maps. Current map tools generally fall into two categories: very basic tools that just add descriptions to locations, and professional, complex GIS software. We are building the third kind: a tool that is simple to use but produces professional-grade results. Tasmap is not just a map for marking locations; it is a vehicle. Your knowledge, the information, and insights - as long as it needs to be expressed through a map, Tasmap can do it, and do it better than anyone else. The core of Tasmap is "Map + Content + Design." Connect your content to locations, add the right design. That's it. An even bigger difference is that Tasmap can also become an App. You no longer need to develop an app just for a map, because every map can function like a standalone app. Of course, you can also embed it directly into your website or Notion notes. Tasmap is not an app like Google Maps used for navigation or searching for restaurants; it is a tool for building maps. We use OpenStreetMap as our map source, host our own map servers, and build on open-source software rather than the Google Maps SDK. Our revenue comes from the value of the tool itself, not from your (or your users') data. Therefore, you can have a map with no ads, no algorithms, no tracking, and no privacy collection. Just like what you and your users deserved in the first place. Yes, you should have been able to simply build a professional map by yourself, just like slides, documents, designs, spreadsheets, notes, or even websites. Tasmap fills in that missing piece - maps. Tasmap is a simple, powerful map tool that enables you to build a polished, professional map. tasmap.app

🌟 Search, Areas, and Lots of Updates! 1. Location search now supports area and path. When you search names like "Mississippi River," or "DisneySea Park," the corresponding regional geometry boundaries load directly. 2. Search results now automatically match existing map element styles. For example, restaurants in the results list match the restaurant marker, and cafés match the coffee marker. 3. Area boundary simplification. Complex Areas are automatically simplified to 300 vertices or fewer on import, saving storage space. Take Tokyo, for example: 1,800 vertices simplified with less than 1.5% area error, while saving over 95% of storage. 4. Simplified boundary editing. When you click on a complex Area, showing 300 vertices at once makes no sense—it's simply not editable. So we use an algorithm to simplify the editable points, preserving editability while browsing the overview, and still letting you edit details after zooming in. 5. Popovers no longer block map gestures. Now you can zoom and drag the map normally while choosing a map style or editing map elements. 6. Version history and article associations. We fixed some race-condition bugs in the undo/redo history stack, and fixed association updates in articles. When a map element disappears by any means, the article's associations stay in sync. Give it a try! We'd love to hear any thoughts you have.
