New map maker

I was lucky enough to be contacted to help with this new map maker site. If you want to check it out and let me know what you think could be better I am working with the creator to improve it and getting input for him.

Make Any Laser Cut Map in Minutes With Maperivo

Seriously if you have any input on improvements let me know. It’s kinda cool that it can be integrated with Shopify and Etsy shops too.

Just watched the video and it looks pretty cool. The only suggestion that I would recommend is related to the subscription options; it might be nice to offer a couple of other options like a 1 map purchase or maybe a package (ex 5 maps) without an expiration on when they can be used. I’ll let you know if I think of anything else. Thanks for sharing.

Anywhere there is a “design code” that someone might need to copy or keep, there needs to be a “Copy to Clipboard” button. It’s too easy to miss some characters when copying those codes.

I also agree with Brian on the subscription model. This is cool, but not something I would use enough to warrant setting up a subscription. If there were a per map cost or bundles, I might consider that.

I agree, or a way smaller subscription, that is a lot of maps (I can’t think of that many places people want maps of).

One thing that would be an easy thing to sell is trails, like I have a cousin who is a full-time triathlete and people always want maps of the course that they competed in (or hikes). I’d be able to do a lot more of those than street maps.

agreed w/everyone else on the “smaller package” kind of deal. most makers might make 2-3 maps at most. your market will be much smaller if you’re only getting the people who want to make lots and lots of maps.

Got him to add a credit option for 10maps for $5 anytime use.

Where do the map data come from? Like, is it mostly just cities? Or can you find rural or park areas with topography as well as roads? I see it says “any city in the world”, but as a geology major, I am interested in landforms and topography as I am in roadmaps.

The creator says it works off of Google maps so you can use anywhere in the world
