InfoMapa’s own words
Trace, figure, mushroom, pack, walk mode… What each of the site’s own words means.
Nothing needed: it’s a small dictionary to look up whenever a word means nothing to you.
Step by step
Trace
A text, photo, video or recording that someone pins to a spot on the map: a memory, a story about the place. You find them by zooming in or in the «Traces» tab. Leaving one has a yearly price.
Figure
The 3D drawing of each place when you zoom in: a cup for a café, a house for accommodation. It tells you what kind of place it is at a glance.
Mushroom
The gold or silver mushroom that replaces the marker of some businesses: they have paid for a pack to stand out. It is not a quality score.
Pack (or plan)
What a business buys to make its listing stand out for a year: «Ficha completa» (full listing, silver mushroom) or «Ficha completa + anuncios» (full listing with ads, gold mushroom and its own ad). The basic listing is free.
Ground logo
A logo painted over the streets of the map, life-size and see-through. It’s advertising without a link, like a sign in the landscape.
This spot
The window that appears when you right-click (or hold your finger still) anywhere on the map: address, coordinates, elevation and what’s nearby.
Walk mode
The walking-person button: the map follows you by GPS as you walk and lets you know about traces nearby.
Clear
Removes all filters at once.
View all
Every place in the directory as a list, in case you’d rather read than look at the map.
About us
The introduction to InfoMapa: what it is and what it can do for a business, with its advertising options.
Demo
If you see «Demo» on an ad or «demo mode» on a screen, it’s a test: nothing is charged and, on the demo website, nothing is saved.
The number in the header
The website’s visit counter. The prices of packs, traces and logos are based on it.
If something doesn’t go as expected
Words change in other languages
In Catalan you’ll see rastre, neteja or veure’ls tots; in Spanish, rastro, limpiar or ver todos; in French, trace, effacer or voir tout. They are the same things as in this list.
You’ll understand every button and sign without having to guess.
