Groypin: Social Maps

Build your own map universe group chat

Groypin is a world where friends collaborate on maps. Young, audacious pioneers are building new pins, new conversations, and a new future. Endless maps are at the fingertips of your friends and frenemies. Drop pins on places that matter. Start a map for a school, group, campus, event, neighborhood, trip, city guide, or inside joke. Add pins, map thumbnails, tags, and stamps to make every map feel like its own world.

Build your map Create public or private maps, add pins by search or by dragging on the map, attach images, and keep every place organized in one visual feed.

Build with friends Discover featured creators, join shared maps, see member activity, and follow conversations happening across the map.
