Straight off the map
Here's what one pin looks like
If we stood there, you get what happened, including the parts that went sideways.
Hamelin
The Pied Piper town, and it's obsessed with rats. They're on buildings, street signs and souvenirs. The old town is lovely.
Chris went into a bakery for rat-shaped treats and came out with a handmade rat made of bread that you can't eat. Sara was not happy about that. Kramer wanted it.

Fair questions
Before you buy
Isn't all of this free online?
Most of it, yes, spread across about forty websites. You're paying to not spend your evenings stitching it together, and to have it on one map that works with one bar of signal.
How do I get it after I pay?
You land in it straight away, already signed in. Come back any time with just your email, and everything you've picked up from us will be there.
Does it work on my phone, on the road?
That's what it's built for. The map opens in the Google Maps app, and you can save the area offline before you lose signal.
Is it a PDF?
No, on purpose. It's a web page, so when a cafe closes we fix it once and you see the fix.
What if it's not for me?
Email us within 14 days and we'll refund it. You don't have to explain.
