Frequently asked questions
Sure, there’s free info everywhere... But you end up digging through blogs, PDFs, and Instagram posts. Then you piece together your own list—fine for reading, but not for moving around.
We built Boutique Maps to fix that. To help you know what’s really worth it nearby, right inside the app you already use. We’ve done the work for you: pulling the best spots from top travel guides and local experts, and organizing them directly in Google Maps.
So whether you’re exploring a neighborhood or planning a day out, you instantly see what matters—so you don’t waste time or regret a choice
Yes—and that’s one of the biggest strengths of Boutique Maps: it will never get old.
- Because our guides live inside Google Maps, all the essentials (hours, photos, reviews, closures, menus, etc.) update automatically in real time.
- On top of that, we keep improving the guides ourselves. Every time we discover a great new spot, we add it.
- And we do quarterly reviews to make sure everything stays sharp and relevant.
So your map is always practical, accurate, and growing—for you to have the best experience :)
While Google Maps needs an internet connection to show the latest content, there’s a simple workaround to make sure your map stays useful offline:
- Download the region you’re traveling to in Google Maps before your trip.
- While online, save the spots from the guide you’re most interested in (add them to your own list or mark them as favorites).
This way, even if you lose signal, you’ll still see your saved places and can navigate to them. Once you’re back online, all the live info—like hours, reviews, and photos—will refresh automatically.
*Tip: For the best experience, we recommend getting an eSIM before your trip so you always have a reliable connection.
