Overview
Creating a new map from scratch can take time. To make the process faster and easier, Mapme offers a Template Gallery. Instead of starting with a blank map, you can browse ready-made templates designed for common use cases—such as a Downtown Guide, University Campus, or Project Portfolio—and import them directly into your account.
How Templates Work
When you import a template, you get a strong foundation for your project without the need to configure every detail from scratch.
- You get predefined categories (names, marker icons, colors, etc.) tailored to the use case.
- All relevant settings (map layout, interactions, and design choices) are included.
- Sample locations are removed so you can start fresh with your own content.
Benefits of Using Templates
- Save time: Skip repetitive setup steps and get a ready-to-use structure.
- Best practices built in: Templates are designed with proven configurations for specific use cases.
- Customizable: You can edit categories, markers, and settings to fit your needs.
- Quick onboarding: Perfect for new users who want to see how a professional map is structured.
✅ Tip: Even after importing a template, you can adjust everything—categories, markers, design, and settings—so your map reflects your unique brand and content.
Plan Requirements
Each template may require a specific Mapme plan—Starter, Professional, or Expert—depending on the features included.
- Example: If a template includes 8 categories, it requires the Professional plan.
If your account does not currently have the required plan:
- The imported map will automatically unlock all needed features for 14 days.
- You can explore and test the full template during this period.
- Note: The map cannot be published unless your account is upgraded to the required plan.
