Features

Everything you need to find your way.

AxisAtlas is a full wayfinding engine in the browser — genuine routing across four modes, with the details that make a route usable.

Start & end anywhere

Set your own starting point

Most maps assume you’re leaving from where you’re standing. AxisAtlas doesn’t. Set both ends of the trip to anywhere on earth.

  • Search an address or place name with type-ahead results
  • Tap the map to drop a pin — it’s reverse-geocoded instantly
  • Use your current location, or swap start and destination in one click
Four modes, one view

Compare every way to travel

The moment both points are set, AxisAtlas computes driving, transit, cycling and walking — and shows all four times together so the trade-off is obvious at a glance.

  • Live road routing for cars, with real-world timing
  • Cycling-aware and pedestrian routes, not just straight lines
  • Switch modes to redraw the route and read the directions

Public transit

Real schedules, not guesses

Transit directions are built from live open schedule data — so you get departures that actually exist, with every leg of the trip spelled out.

  • Departure and arrival times, with the number of transfers
  • Line names and numbers in their real agency colours
  • The walk to your first stop and from your last one
Make it yours

Four map styles, one tap

Switch the basemap to suit the moment or the light. Your choice is remembered the next time you open the map.

  • Minimal — a clean, low-contrast canvas
  • Colour & Bright — vivid, detail-rich maps
  • Dark — easy on the eyes at night
And more

The details that matter.

Turn-by-turn directions

Step-by-step guidance for driving, cycling and walking, with the exact route drawn on the map.

Shareable trip links

Every route is a URL. Send a full trip — start, destination and mode — and it opens ready to go.

Worldwide search

Find places, addresses and landmarks anywhere, with reverse-geocoding when you tap the map.

Tap to drop a pin

Don’t know the address? Tap anywhere on the map to set a point — AxisAtlas names it for you.
