A lightweight alternative to Google My Maps and Google Earth
Import your trail and route geometry from GeoJSON, GPX, KML/KMZ, or a zipped shapefile, define your own types and iconography, and publish a public-facing, mobile-first map of points and lines that embeds on your own site.
Built to speak your data, not fight it
You already know your geometry types, your attribute schema, and your layers. DestinationHub takes the route files you have and turns them into a hosted, embeddable, mobile-first map the public can actually use.
Import the routes you have already mapped
Every trail — and every custom line type you define — takes its geometry from a GeoJSON, GPX, KML/KMZ, or zipped shapefile upload. Export from QGIS, ArcGIS, or a handheld GPS and drop the file in; we read the line and draw it on the map. No conversion pipeline, no proprietary format lock-in.
Pull a route from an Esri feature service
Paste a hosted feature service layer URL and we read the geometry straight from it, so the route you publish matches the one your authoritative layer already holds.
Included on Premium
Point and line geometry, natively
Drop a point for a single location or import a full line for a trail or route. Both render on the same basemap alongside everything else you have published, in your own colors and icons.
Custom schema, custom iconography
Define your own entity types and field schemas — the attributes, the icon, the color — the way you would set up a feature class, without touching a shapefile or writing a migration.
Included on Pro and Premium
One account across every jurisdiction
Cover more than one town, district, or agency? Each one gets its own organization — its own public map, branding, and team — and a single login moves between them all. Anything a member jurisdiction shares publishes on your parent map as well, credited to the agency that owns it.
Included on Premium — up to 5 organizations
Embed the map on your own site
Every published map ships with a copy-paste embed snippet — the same job as Google My Maps or Google Earth, minus the ads, the branding, and the desktop-only workflow.
Included on Pro and Premium
Numbers you can take back to the agency
See which layers, trails, and destinations visitors actually open. Export to CSV, or pull the same figures through the analytics API into whatever you already report from.
Included on Pro and Premium; API on Premium
A trail is more than a line on a basemap
Once the geometry is in, a trail carries the attributes the public actually searches on — and every trailhead, access point, and closure you need to keep current.
The attributes hikers actually ask about
Length in miles, difficulty, surface type, and route type — loop, out-and-back, point-to-point — plus dog-friendly and wheelchair-accessible flags, all carried on the trail itself rather than buried in a description field.
Trailheads as their own mapped points
Give a trail as many trailheads and access points as it really has, each with parking, amenities, seasonality, and an open or closed status you can flip when a gate goes up.
Visitors filter on all of it
The public trails page filters by difficulty, dog-friendly, and wheelchair-accessible, so someone with a stroller or an off-leash dog finds the right trail without reading every listing.
Turn a trail into a guided tour
Point a tour at a trail and it follows that route, adding stops, photos, and audio narration along the way, with turn-by-turn directions to the trailhead and from one stop to the next.
A real dataset, mapped end to end
This is the live, interactive map for the Old Mill Junction Arts & Heritage Alliance — points, lines, custom icons, and all — the same map you can embed on your own website.
Moving off Google My Maps or Google Earth
- A public-facing, mobile-first map instead of a link nobody clicks

- GeoJSON, GPX, KML/KMZ, or a zipped shapefile in — a hosted map and directory out, no desktop GIS software required
- Trails that carry length, difficulty, surface, and every trailhead, not just a line on a basemap
- One account across every town or district you cover, each with its own public map
- Your schema, your icons, your branding, not a shared blue pin
