MapHub

What MapHub is

MapHub is a web app for building interactive maps from points, lines, polygons, labels, photos, and groups. You can bring in GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML, GPX, or CSV data, then export those formats as well. Finished maps can be embedded on a website with an iframe, and owners can decide who is allowed to view or edit them. MapHub supports real-time collaboration; the Free plan covers public maps, while collaboration on private maps is available in Business. Its basemap uses OpenStreetMap data, and map search can use open-data or commercial geocoding providers.

Plans range from Free to Enterprise. Free maps are public and allow up to 100 items and 100 kB of GeoJSON per map, along with 12 images, two custom icons, and 50 Open Data search credits per month. Hobbyist increases map capacity and is described as a plan for private maps; Business increases map capacity and supports team collaboration and business use. Enterprise offers unlimited items and GeoJSON size, a dedicated server, and a custom domain. Version history is kept for 7 days in Hobbyist, 30 days in Business, and a customizable period in Enterprise. Email support is included in Hobbyist and Business, while Enterprise has premium support. MapHub is headquartered in Ujlengyel, Hungary, and says it follows GDPR and does not share map or user data with third parties. Its privacy page says it self-hosts Plausible Analytics and does not use Google Analytics or Google Fonts.
