tinymap vs Google Maps
Google Maps and Apple Maps are built to list every place the same way — and none of that page is yours to control. tinymap is the page you send instead: your photos, the way in, your offer, your events — and a count of who actually arrived. It works alongside your Google listing rather than replacing it; hours, phone and directions can come straight from it.
| Feature | A maps listing | A tinymap page |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | Whatever anyone uploaded, in any order | The ones you chose, in your order |
| Entrance, building, floor, unit | Nowhere to put it | Labelled fields and pinned spots with photos |
| Parking, drop-off, lift | Nowhere to put it | Their own pins, with directions to each |
| Offers | — | Shown on the page, accepted with a staff PIN |
| Events | Limited, posted by Google's rules | Days, times and flyers, from the business app |
| Menu with happy hour | A photo or a third-party link | Structured menu with automatic happy-hour prices |
| Hours, phone, directions | Yes | Yes — can be pulled from your Google listing |
| WhatsApp and Telegram | — | One-tap Message with the apps you answer on |
| Knowing they arrived | — | App arrival detection and staff-accepted walk-ins |
| Who sent them | — | Credited to the creator, agent, invite or ad |
Questions
- What is tinymap?
- tinymap gives any place — a restaurant, a shop, an event, a new building, an office or your own front door — a page you control instead of the same maps listing everyone else sends: your photos in your order, the exact entrance and parking, offers, events, menus and bookings, plus proof of who actually arrived and who sent them.
- How is tinymap different from Google Maps or Apple Maps?
- A maps listing is the same generic page for every place, and none of it is yours to control. A tinymap page is yours: the photos, the order, the entrance and floor, the offer, the events — and it counts arrivals and walk-ins, credited to the creator, agent or ad that sent each visitor. Hours, phone and directions can still come from your Google listing.
- Is tinymap free?
- Making a link to a place — your home, your party, your open house — is free and needs no account. Businesses and creators sign in to the business app for offers, analytics and collaborations.
- Does tinymap have an app?
- Yes, on iPhone and Android. Every page also works on the web without the app; the app adds automatic arrival detection.
