Share travel maps with friends — one link, every pin

Turn any WayCrumb collection into a full-screen shareable map. Send a friend the link and they see every pin on the map and in a scrollable list — with photos, addresses, and your notes intact.

Three steps to a shareable travel map

From a private list of pins to a link your friends can actually use — in under a minute.

Step 1

Build a collection of pins

Group the places you want to share into a WayCrumb collection — favourite Lisbon bakeries, a Tokyo itinerary, the best surf spots on the coast. Every pin already carries its photo, address, rating, and notes.

Step 2

Turn it into a shareable map

Open the collection, hit Share, and WayCrumb mints a link to a full-screen map view of every pin. No exports, no screenshots, no losing detail in translation.

Step 3

Send the link to anyone on WayCrumb

Drop the link into a chat, an email, a group thread. Any signed-in WayCrumb traveller can open it, browse the map and list, tap a pin for details, and get inspired.

What friends see

A real map, not a list of links

Recipients open the link and land on a full-screen map with a marker for every pin and a side list of pin cards. Tapping a pin opens its detail — photo, address, rating, price level, opening hours, and your notes.

  • Full-screen map with a marker per pin
  • Scrollable list of pin cards next to the map
  • Photos, addresses, ratings, and your notes
  • View-only — nothing changes in your collection
  • Link always reflects the latest pins you add

Ways people share travel maps

A shared map is the fastest way to hand someone your taste in a place.

Recommend a city to a friend

Send your "Best of Barcelona" map to someone flying out next week. They see everything at once — no more copy-pasting ten Google Maps links into a chat.

Share a themed guide

Curate a themed list — natural wine bars, kid-friendly museums, sunset viewpoints — and share it as a living map you can keep updating.

Plan a group trip together

Share your shortlist so the group can see the shape of the trip on a map before you commit to days and bookings.

Post-trip highlights

After a trip, share the pins that actually made the cut. Friends get a real recommendation map, not a photo dump.

Shared, but not exposed

Shared travel maps open only for signed-in WayCrumb travellers. Your pins, photos, and notes never sit on the open web. Make a collection private again and the link stops resolving — you stay in control.

Shared maps — questions

Who can open a shared travel map?+

Anyone signed into WayCrumb with the link can open a shared map. It is not public to the open web — recipients need a WayCrumb account so pins, photos, and notes stay in a trusted context.

What do recipients see?+

They see a full-screen map with a marker for every pin and a side list of pin cards — title, photo, address, rating, price level, and any notes you added. They can tap a marker to open the detail card.

Can recipients edit my collection?+

No. Shared travel maps are view-only. Your collection stays yours — nothing recipients do changes the pins, order, or notes.

What if I add a new pin to the collection later?+

The share link always reflects the current state of the collection. Add a pin and it shows up on the shared map the next time someone opens the link.

Can I stop sharing a map?+

Yes. Make the collection private again from its settings and the shared link stops resolving. New pins added afterwards are never exposed.
