About MapToNap
What is MapToNap?
MapToNap is a browser-based site analysis toolkit for architects and architecture students. Drop a pin on any address and it draws up to 47 site analysis diagrams from real open data as editable vectors, and builds a 3D site model you can export to Rhino 3DM, OBJ or GLB. It does not use AI image generation.

The 47 analyses
What MapToNap draws from one pin
Site and context
Roads & streets, urban fabric (figure-ground), land use, building density, building typology, location, city context, orientation, annotated map, context mapping board, and a visual analysis board with numbered view cones and real street photos
Movement and services
Pedestrian network, walk accessibility, transit access, access analysis, street vitality, node analysis, service territories, POI density and POI type maps
Environment and climate
Green & water, sun path & wind, wind flow, noise and sound sources, annual temperature, precipitation, daylight hours, solar radiation, annual climate
Terrain and 3D
Topography, slope & drainage, terrain wireframe, building massing, isometric massing, and a full 3D site model with buildings, terrain, roads, water and trees
Max also opens eight design tools in the same workspace: site concept, site strategy, flow diagrams, bubble diagrams, concept lab, floor plan / axonometric, plan render and elevation / section.
Deep Analysis (Max) goes past diagrams with six studies computed in the browser: a day in the site (real sun, shadows and open hours, with a map of sun hours), walk pulse (walking isochrones on the real streets), sightlines (isovists and visibility graph analysis), design impact (draw blocks and see the sun, views and walks they take from the neighbours), the 15-minute city (minutes on foot to eight daily needs on every street) and footfall (an hour-by-hour estimate of people on each street). Try it on the Paris sample.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is MapToNap?
MapToNap is a browser-based site analysis and diagram toolkit for architecture students, architects and urban planners. You choose a site on a map and it draws up to 47 site analysis diagrams from real open data as editable vectors, and builds a 3D site model you can export to Rhino 3DM, OBJ or GLB.
Is MapToNap free?
Partly. Four analyses (roads, land use, green and water, figure-ground) are free with a watermark and no sign-up. Pro costs €7.99 for a 30-day pass and Max €12.99 for a 30-day pass or €49 for a full year. Passes are one-time payments and never renew automatically.
Is MapToNap an AI image generator?
No. Every drawing is built from map data, open climate and elevation data and rule-based, editable geometry. Nothing is generated by an image model, so the drawing matches the real site.
Where does the data come from?
Buildings, streets, land use, water and points of interest come from OpenStreetMap. Climate data (sun, wind, temperature, rainfall, solar radiation) comes from NASA POWER. Elevation comes from Terrain Tiles on AWS Open Data (SRTM, USGS, EU-DEM). Street-level photos in the visual analysis come from Mapillary (CC BY-SA 4.0).
How is MapToNap different from CADMAPPER?
CAD export tools such as CADMAPPER give you raw linework of an area to draw over in CAD. MapToNap draws finished analysis diagrams (land use, sun path, noise, transit access and more) in one graphic style, ready for a presentation board, and also exports a 3D site model. Many students use both.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No. MapToNap runs in a modern web browser on desktop or tablet. Projects are saved in your browser; an account is not needed. Paid licences are restored with a licence code.
Which cities does it cover?
Any place with OpenStreetMap data, which covers the whole world, including Latin America, Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and Asia. The level of detail depends on how well the area is mapped.
Can I use the drawings commercially?
Yes. Paid plans include commercial use for your own projects, clients and publications. Keep the "© OpenStreetMap contributors" attribution on map-based drawings.
Can the visual analysis use real street photos?
Yes. The Visual Analysis board (Max) draws numbered view cones on the plan and fills each with a real street-level photo from Mapillary, taken where the site can really be seen past the buildings in front, with the site picked out in red. The photos are CC BY-SA 4.0 and every photographer is credited on the board.
What is Deep Analysis?
Six studies of the site that go beyond diagrams: 24 hours of real sun and shadow, walking isochrones, isovists and visibility graph analysis (VGA), the impact of a proposed design on sun, views and walking, the 15-minute city and an hour-by-hour footfall model. It runs in your browser on real map data, is part of Max and is free to try on the Paris sample.
