Review in detail
MAPSTR SAS is a French simplified joint-stock company, SIREN 799 917 380, RCS Versailles, with share capital of 57 368,13 EUR and its registered office at 43 rue Pierre Valette, 92240 Malakoff. The imprint names Sebastien Caron as publication director.
Mapstr starts from places, not from reservations. You save addresses on a personal map, then use the map to prepare a trip or share a list with friends.
How does Mapstr help to prepare a trip?
Mapstr lets you save addresses on an interactive map and organise them. The site lists 'Prepare a trip' and 'Make a collaborative map' among its features.
The home page says users have saved 105,456,789 places.
How do you add places to Mapstr?
Mapstr imports addresses from Instagram and TikTok. It also shows the addresses of friends and offers personalised suggestions.
A separate Mapstr pro offer targets restaurants, hotels, bars and brands.
Where does Mapstr keep its data?
The imprint states that data is stored with Amazon (AWS) in the Ireland region. The app is governed by French law and was declared to the CNIL.
Amazon is a US company, and the pages we read do not discuss transfer safeguards.
Known limits
Mapstr is a places map and does not organise flights, hotels or dated day plans on the pages we read. Prices for any paid tier are not shown, and the AWS hosting is operated by a US provider, though in an Irish region.
Is Mapstr right for you?
Choose Mapstr to gather places for a trip. For dates and reservations, combine it with KDE Itinerary or use Tripomatic.
