Hi, is there a developments roadmap of the MapHub project ?
Is there the possibility of integrating comments from visitors to their map or single points, being able to insert some photos maybe?
Hi Brock and Welcome to the Forum,
Yes, it’s a frequently requested feature to make “Google Form” like maps, where visitors can place a pin. The problem is spam, which I haven’t really solved. The map owners would get a lot of spam from bots.
Creating accounts with google/facebook oauth integration ? as a developer i know it’s a lot of work, so I was also wondering if the maphub project is open source.
In particular I think it will be very useful to have these features:
- integration of comments / stars or in any case have a more participatory system with other users
- more icons, or in any case the possibility to insert your own icon inside the drop-shaped map placeholder to integrate it with the other native icons of maphub
- better info button with the possibility of adding a legend of the map like Mapotic maps
- groups of groups
- count view stats of the map
Many of those features are in the works. I prefer not to do the “social media” ones and keep MapHub focused on its original purpose. Adding stars as a personal bookmark sounds like a good idea, but I’m not planning adding messaging/commenting in the near future.

is it open source? how is it possible contribute ?
No, the web app is not open source. The map data is open source in case of basemaps using OpenStreetMap data.
I have a maphub map on my website behind a members area, at the top of the page the map is embedded on, I have 2 buttons linked to a spreadsheet, Submit a POI and Leave a Review. As its a members only page, then I can trust any submissions.
I’ll think about a good system, maybe with a hCaptcha it would work well enough.
