Interactive Map — what you can do on this page

Quick overview

The Voyage interactive map lets you search for places, toggle layers (restaurants, attractions, transport), filter by category or neighborhood, inspect details with popups, and zoom or pan to plan routes. Use the search box to jump to an address, click markers to view details, or draw and export a selection for your travel notes. (docs.mapbox.com)

Key actions you can take

  • Search and geocode: type an address, place name, or postcode to fly the map to that spot and reveal nearby results. (docs.mapbox.com)
  • Use filters and layers: turn layers on/off (for example, restaurants, attractions, transit) or apply attribute filters to narrow results by rating, price range, or hours.
  • Inspect details: click or tap markers to open popups containing descriptions, photos, and links. Markers support custom icons and popups for richer content. (docs.mapbox.com)
  • Clustered views: when many points overlap, the map groups them into clusters so dense areas remain readable; zoom in to reveal individual items. (docs.mapbox.com)
  • Save and share: create shortlists by saving markers, then export or share a link so others can view the same map extent and selections.

Controls and tips for faster use

  • Zoom and pan: use on-screen controls, mouse wheel, pinch gestures on mobile, or arrow keys when available.
  • Camera “fly to”: after searching, the map animates to the result so you keep contextual orientation. (docs.mapbox.com)
  • Rebinding and dynamic content: if the map filters data dynamically, popups or event bindings may need re-initialization; this is a normal behavior in web maps and we handle it so popups remain responsive. (stackoverflow.com)

Accessibility and mobile behavior

We design the map so it works across devices and with assistive technologies. Controls are keyboard-focusable, legends and filters use ARIA labels, and dynamic updates are exposed via accessibility regions so screen readers can detect changes. If you rely on a screen reader or keyboard navigation, open the legend or data table alternative we provide next to the map for a linear listing of points. (nps.gov)

Practical traveler examples

  • Find dinner near your hotel: search the hotel name, toggle the “restaurants” layer, filter by cuisine and price, then tap a marker to see hours and a reservation link.
  • Plan transit connections: enable the transit layer to view night and local routes, then use the direction tool to estimate travel time and transfers. (nps.gov)
  • Build an itinerary: save attractions to a shortlist, reorder them by proximity, and export the list to your phone or share with friends.

Troubleshooting and performance

  • Slow loading? Try zooming to a smaller area or toggling off heavy layers (satellite imagery or heatmaps) to reduce data requests.
  • Missing details after filtering? Refresh the map layer or toggle the filter off and on; sometimes bindings need to reattach after dynamic updates. (stackoverflow.com)

The map may request your location to center the view; you can deny or revoke this in your browser settings. Saved lists and shares are stored according to our privacy policy. (See the privacy link below for details.)

Final tip

Start with a goal—find dinner, map a route, or compile attractions—then use search + a single filter for the quickest results. If you need help, contact us from the About page or report an issue using the map feedback button.

FAQ

Can I use the map on my phone and save places for offline use?

Yes. The interactive map is mobile-friendly—search, filter, and save places from a phone. Offline availability depends on your browser and whether you export a list or use a companion app; we offer an export/print option for saved lists.

What do I do if a marker shows the wrong information?

If a marker has incorrect details, use the map feedback button to report it. We also refresh and cross-check sources regularly; in the meantime check the linked official venue page from the popup for the latest hours and contact info.

How does clustering affect what I see?

Clustering groups nearby points into a single symbol when zoomed out to keep the map readable; zoom in to break clusters into individual markers and view each place’s popup.

Does the map share my location with third parties?

No location is shared with third parties without your consent. The map may request your browser’s geolocation to center the view locally; saved lists and sharing follow the site privacy policy linked on the page.
