What Is MapGenerator (map-generator-nsj.vercel.app)?

Updated

MapGenerator is a browser-based tool for creating custom maps for Geoguessr, the geography guessing game. It runs entirely on the web at map-generator-nsj.vercel.app, so there is nothing to install: you open the site, define the map you want, and use the result in Geoguessr. It is aimed at players who want more control over where a round can place them than the standard map pool offers.

What the site does

Geoguessr rounds drop you somewhere on a world map and ask you to work out where you are from street-level imagery. The locations come from a map definition. MapGenerator's job is to help you produce that definition yourself, so a game can be built around a country, a region, a theme, or any other set of places you choose.

The core workflow is the same regardless of the map you want:

  1. Choose the area. Decide the geographic scope — a single country, a continent, or a custom set of locations.
  2. Generate the map. The tool assembles the location data for that scope.
  3. Use it in Geoguessr. Take the generated output and load it as a custom map in the game.

The exact controls and output format are best confirmed on the site itself, since the tool is a small independent project and its interface can change.

Who it is for

  • Geoguessr players who want practice maps focused on specific countries or regions rather than the default world map.
  • Groups and streamers building themed games where every round should fall inside a chosen area.
  • Learners studying a country's roads, signage, and landscape who want repeated exposure to one region.

What to keep in mind

  • It is a helper, not the game. MapGenerator produces map data; the actual playing happens in Geoguessr, and you still need a Geoguessr account to play.
  • Custom maps depend on imagery coverage. A map limited to a country with sparse Street View coverage will produce fewer usable locations, so broad, well-covered areas tend to work better.
  • No pricing information is published on the site. Treat cost and any account requirements as unconfirmed until you check the site directly.
  • It is a third-party project. It is not an official Geoguessr product, so features and availability are not guaranteed long-term.

Bottom line

If you want a Geoguessr map scoped to a specific place or theme, MapGenerator is a quick, no-install way to generate one in the browser. Start by picking a well-covered region, generate the map, and load it into Geoguessr as a custom map.
