Go Here vs Mapstr
Compare · Updated November 3, 2026
The short answer
Mapstr and Go Here both put your favorite places on a map you can share and follow, and both find the places in a TikTok or Instagram post shared to them. Mapstr is built around tags and colours, maps you follow and collaborative maps, on iPhone, Android and the web. Go Here is built around one map per city that you hand to someone: a link that opens with no account, a note and a rating on every spot, and places read out of YouTube videos, screenshots and pasted lists too.
Where Mapstr is the better fit
- Tags and colours of your own, and a map you filter by them.
- Maps from friends and creators to follow, and maps you build with others.
- Places found in a TikTok or Instagram post you share to it, and imports from Google Maps and other services.
- Apps on iPhone and Android, and a version on the web.
Where Go Here is
- No account for anything but a public profile: a city is yours by a private link on your device.
- Every shared link opens in a browser with no account; Mapstr asks for one first unless the map is public.
- A YouTube video is watched for every place shown or named in it, and screenshots and pasted lists are read out too, each place for you to tick.
- A rating out of 10 with a note on each spot, and spots sorted into Food, Shop, Drink and See without tagging.
In short
Mapstr if you like to organise one big map with tags. Go Here if you think in cities and want to hand one over.
