My Maps¶

The My maps tab on the home page lists every map that you created or opened. The number next to the tab name shows how many maps are in the list. Your browser keeps this list, not the OnRouteMap server.

How maps get into the list¶

You do not have to add maps yourself. Each map that you create goes into the list. Each map that you open also goes into the list, for example a map that someone sent to you.

What you can do with an entry¶

Each entry shows the map title, a route or point icon, the map language and the creation date. Click the title to open the map. The three buttons on the right side do these things:

• Share opens the same dialog with QR code and link as the share button on the map.
• Tag opens a small editor. Your existing tags show as chips that you can add with one click. New tag lets you type a new one. Tags show below the title with a color that is the same for each tag name. Click the × on a tag to remove it after a confirmation.
• Remove deletes the entry from your list after a confirmation. The map itself stays on the server.

When the list has more than ten maps, two more controls appear. Show more and Show all keep the list short. A search field filters the list by title or tag while you type.

Two important points¶

The list is in the local storage of your browser, on this device only. If you clear your browsing data, or use a different browser or device, the list is empty. Use Share first if you want to open a map on a different device.

The server deletes maps after 6 months (see Limits & troubleshooting). When this occurs, the entry also goes away from the list, because the map does not open anymore.
