What are Starterkits?

Starterkits are pre-built map configurations that include sample data, styling, and optimal settings for common use cases. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you can choose a starterkit that matches your needs and customize it from there.

Think of them as templates that give you a head start. Each starterkit includes:

  • Sample data: Real-world example data to show what's possible
  • Pre-configured styling: Colors, markers, and popups already set up
  • Optimized settings: Best practices built-in from the start
  • Responsive design: Works great on desktop and mobile

Available Starterkits

We're launching with several starterkits to cover the most common mapping scenarios:

Rental Homes

Perfect for real estate platforms, vacation rental sites, or property management systems. This starterkit features:

  • Property markers with rich popup information
  • Price display on markers
  • Filtering by property type, bedrooms, and price range
  • Beautiful property cards with images
  • Rating and review display

Store Locator

Ideal for retail chains, restaurant franchises, or any business with multiple locations. Includes:

  • Location clustering for dense areas
  • Search by address or current location
  • Store details with opening hours
  • Directions integration
  • Distance calculation

Default Template

A clean starting point for custom projects with:

  • Basic marker setup
  • Simple popup configuration
  • Neutral styling that's easy to customize
  • All essential features enabled

How to Use a Starterkit

Getting started with a starterkit is simple:

  1. Create a new map in Mapsemble
  2. Choose a starterkit from the template selection
  3. Customize the styling, data, and settings to match your brand
  4. Replace the sample data with your own
  5. Embed your map anywhere

The sample data is there to show you what's possible and help you understand the structure. Once you're ready, simply upload your own data in the same format, and your map will be ready to go.

Drupal Integration

For Drupal users, we've created special starterkits that integrate seamlessly with the Mapsemble Drupal module. These include:

  • Drupal Store Locator: Pre-configured for location-based content types
  • Drupal Vanilla: A clean slate optimized for Drupal integration

Check out our Drupal integration blog post for more details on setting up Mapsemble with your Drupal site.

Coming Soon

We're actively working on more starterkits based on user feedback:

  • Event Map: For conferences, festivals, and event venues
  • Tourism Map: Points of interest with categories and routes
  • Sales Territory Map: Visualize regions and performance data
  • Asset Tracker: Monitor equipment and vehicle locations
