# Sharing Your Map

## The viewer link

Every map has a unique viewer URL. Anyone with this link can open the interactive map in their browser — no account or app download required.

The viewer URL looks like:

```
https://lowtechmaps.com/viewer.html?id=YOUR_MAP_ID
```

## How to share

You can share the viewer link however works best for your venue:

* **Generate a QR Code:** You can generate a QR code on your main dashboard using the Share -> QR Code option
* **Share the Link:** You can view the link on your main dashboard using the Share -> URL option

## What visitors see

When a visitor opens the link on their phone:

* Your map is displayed full-screen
* If they allow location access, a blue dot shows their current position on the map (if they are in the area of the map)
* Any POIs you've added appear as circles they can tap for details (or hide)

See [Visitor Experience](/low-tech-maps/viewer-experience/visitor-experience.md) for a full walkthrough.

## Privacy

The viewer requires no sign-in. Visitors remain anonymous — Low Tech Maps only records anonymous event counts (map views, POI taps) with no personal data attached.
