Interactive Location Pins
Place pins anywhere on your map for cities, ruins, forests, dungeons, roads, and landmarks. Each pin links to a full location profile with descriptions, history, and connected characters.
Map Builder for Writers
Draw the world your story lives in.
Your Own World includes an interactive map builder designed for fiction writers and worldbuilders. Upload a map, place location pins, add rich annotations, and link your geography directly to character profiles, lore entries, and story events.
A map that's part of your story — not just a picture
Most writers pin a map image to a wall and then never really use it. Your Own World makes your map interactive — every pin is a doorway into your world's detail.
Rich Annotations
Add notes and descriptions directly to map areas and pins. Mark territory borders, trade routes, danger zones, and places of power. Your map becomes a document, not just an image.
Connected to Your World
Map locations link to your location manager, lore encyclopedia, and character profiles. Click a pin on the map and see every character who lives there, every event that happened there, every piece of lore tied to that place.
World & Regional Maps
Build multiple maps for a single project — a world map, a continent map, a city map, a dungeon floor plan. Every scale of your world gets its own interactive layer.
Custom Map Upload
Drawn your own map with pen and paper, or commissioned one from an artist? Upload it directly and place your interactive pins on top. Your map, made interactive.
Navigate Your World
Use the map as a navigation tool. See at a glance where your story takes place, how far apart locations are, and what sits between them. Geography becomes story logic.
Why it matters
Geography shapes story. Your map should shape your writing.
How long does it take to travel from the capital to the border? What lies between the forest and the sea? Where would a fleeing character hide? An interactive map answers these questions instantly — so geography informs your plot rather than being forgotten by chapter three.
