All new - discover our map

Our journey began with a vision to craft a tool that wasn’t just a map, but a bridge to a world of van life possibilities. We've meticulously designed this map to not only provide practical solutions but also to inspire you to explore further and with greater confidence.

The world is vast and your spirit for adventure, boundless. Our map is your compass to navigate this beautiful planet we call home. From the essential — like drinking water, public toilets, and laundromats — to the experiential — such as campgrounds and outdoor stores — our map is an ever-expanding collection of resources. We have taken care to list amenities that cater to the unique needs of the van life community.

We understand the allure of the path less taken, and for our European wanderers, we've integrated Natura 2000 areas to ensure your exploration is both adventurous and respectful to the natural world.

Quite often, we hear about vanlifers in Portugal or other European countries who were fined around 250€ simply for parking in one of those zones. Since protecting the environment and ensuring a great traveling experience are our top priorities, our map should help you stay clear of those areas! We’re aware that there are way more protected zones inside and outside of Europe, so rest assured that we’ll add more resources in the near future!

And it’s not just about where you can or cannot go, but also about the journey. With our state-of-the-art 3D view, you can traverse mountains, valleys, and cities with a clarity that feels as real as the road beneath your wheels. Simply jump to your location, enter the 3D view, and see how high you’ll have to climb to reach your nearest public toilet or a via ferrata. With a simple right-click and drag on your desktop or a two-finger swipe upwards on your mobile device, you can explore the terrain as if you were already there. Experience our map's smooth performance, designed to keep up with the pace of your travels, because we know that a seamless experience is crucial when you're chasing the horizon.

And the best thing: all of this is available for free for everybody to use on our website! You can even add our website to your Home screen and use it like a native app on your device. All that said, we're just getting started. The map is brand new, and with your feedback, it will continue to evolve. This is an open invitation to be part of the Vanlifezone experience — to contribute, to share, and to connect with the global van life community. We’re all ears for your feedback!
