Hey Product Hunt 👋 Backstory: I was at a huge music festival a while back, the kind where the grounds are massive- like an hour walk end to end, campgrounds, RVs, a dozen stages, food stalls, toilets, all of it. You had two options for getting around. The festival's own map, which was just a flat image- no live location, no way to pin where your tent was, no way to send it to anyone. Or their app, which nobody wants to install and still didn't give you basic stuff like actual navigation. Or you used Google Maps, except the entire festival grounds just showed up as a blank green field. I lost probably an hour that weekend just wandering around looking for my own tent, and another chunk of it hunting for a pizza stall I'd walked past earlier and couldn't find again. That's the whole reason Maptide exists. You design the overlay- stages, food stalls, your tent, whatever matters- on top of a real Google Map, then export it as a KML you import into Google My Maps. What you get back is a normal Google Maps link. Zoom it, search it, send it to whoever needs it, and it still shows the real ground underneath instead of a blank field. Building it mainly for exactly that kind of event- festivals, campgrounds, races, weddings, anything with a "here's where stuff is" problem and no good way to hand someone a real map for it. Still pre-launch, heads down on the editor. This page's just here so you can get notified when it's live. If you've ever been lost looking for your own tent at a festival, you already get why I built this.
