Your city, but reskinned by video games.
Same streets. Same GPS. Whole different vibe.
MapShifter replaces your everyday map with hand-crafted, game-inspired worlds — and gives you turn-by-turn navigation, place search, and offline maps inside each one.
A map that evolves as you explore.

MapShifter is an independent indie project — a love letter to the games that made us fall in love with maps. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any game studio, publisher, or franchise referenced. Every skin is original artwork and typography inspired by broader cartographic styles. All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
Built on open foundations: OpenStreetMap (map data, © OSM contributors, ODbL), MapLibre (rendering), Project OSRM (routing), Photon + Nominatim (search), Wikidata (place info). Huge thanks to the communities behind each.
