The practical map for backpackers
New city, heavy pack, six hours until check-in. Somewhere within walking distance there is a shower, a laundrette, a drinking tap and free Wi-Fi — none of which are on the map in your hand.

The hours between check-out and the night bus
- Guides cover what to see. They rarely cover where to shower, wash clothes, refill a bottle or sit with Wi-Fi while you wait for a bed.
- Travelling alone means carrying everything you own, so a detour to a facility that turns out to be closed costs more than just time.
- Budget travel runs on free water, free Wi-Fi and cheap laundry — the three things mainstream map apps surface worst.
Built for the gaps between hostels
One map for the things that actually decide your day: more than 36,000 showers, close to 20,000 self-service laundries, over 450,000 drinking water points, 490,000 toilets and 380,000 places offering Wi-Fi — across 5.5 million places worldwide.
Showers, self-service laundries and drinking water, so a long layover between beds stays manageable.
Filter for places that cost nothing — refill points, public taps and spots with open Wi-Fi.
Open the map and use it. Nothing to register, and it works the same in every country you pass through.

Backpacking and solo travel map for hostels, stations and city stopovers
Backpacking is mostly logistics dressed up as adventure. A night bus arrives at six, check-in is at two, and the eight hours in between depend entirely on whether you can find a shower, somewhere to leave a bag, a tap to refill a bottle, and a seat with Wi-Fi. None of that appears in a guidebook, and searching for it in an unfamiliar city, in a language you may not read, is exactly when a phone is least useful.
A backpacker map is only worth carrying if it covers the practical layer of travel: showers, self-service laundry, drinking water, public toilets, Wi-Fi, supermarkets and pharmacies, in every country rather than just the well-documented ones. Voyager Maps is built on open map data and works without an account, so the same map behaves identically whether you are between hostels in Lisbon, waiting out a connection in Bangkok, or walking a long day in a city you have never visited. For solo travellers especially, knowing where the practical stops are removes a small, constant source of friction from the trip.
