Routing · Map Maker · Sharing

Maps you can
drive, design,
and share.

Vril Maps combines turn-by-turn routing with a full Map Maker: named maps, spreadsheet import, batch geocoding, draw tools, distance and area measurement, heatmaps, clustering, and public or private sharing — on the same privacy-minded Vril stack.

Map Maker platform

Build named maps, import real datasets, draw geometry, analyse density, and control who can see your work.

Named maps & sharing

Create maps you own. Set visibility to private, unlisted (link only), or public — access checks are enforced on every API call so private maps stay private.

  • Personal map library (My Maps)
  • Shareable links at /maker/{id}-{name}
  • Custom pin colours and labels

Spreadsheet import & batch geocode

Upload CSV data with coordinates or addresses. Missing coordinates are filled via our Nominatim geocode proxy — rate-limited and capped so bulk jobs stay safe.

  • CSV columns: name, lat, lon, address, color
  • Server-side validation and row limits
  • Authenticated batch geocode API

Draw, distance & area

Sketch markers, polylines, polygons, rectangles, and circles. Instant length and area readouts help you measure sites, routes, and territories without leaving the canvas.

  • Leaflet draw toolbar in the editor
  • GeoJSON stored per feature
  • Area and perimeter for polygons

Heatmaps & clustering

Large point sets stay readable. Toggle clustering for pin groups, or switch on a heatmap to show density at a glance — ideal after a spreadsheet import.

  • Marker clustering with counts
  • Optional heatmap overlay
  • Works with shared read-only views

Routing & exploration

The classic Vril Maps experience is still here — search, multi-stop routes, satellite, and voice guidance.

Place search

Debounced autocomplete via Nominatim. Pick a result to pin and fill the next route stop.

Multi-stop directions

Walk, cycle, car, truck, and more — with turn-by-turn panel and optional spoken guidance.

Satellite layers

Street map or Esri imagery with road and place overlays when you need aerial context.

Context tools

Right-click to drop pins, measure distance, reverse-geocode, copy coordinates, or share a spot.

Security-minded

Auth on maker APIs, ACL for private maps, sanitized uploads, and rate limits on geocode/import.

Share links

Share a route deep-link from the routing map, or a Map Maker slug for a whole dataset.

Privacy & data

  • Search, reverse geocode, and routes are proxied through Vril Maps — the browser does not call Nominatim/OSRM with third-party keys.
  • Map Maker datasets you save are stored in your account and respect private / unlisted / public visibility.
  • Routing map pins can also live in browser local storage on this device.
