How does a Carta Volta map work?

Published: 24 Jun 2025Updated: 18 Aug 20261 min read

Once it's unlocked, it opens straight in your browser on any device, with no app and no login screen. You browse by category, read the descriptions of the places, and see what's around you right now. It's easy to use on the move, for example while standing on a street deciding where to go next. The map is dynamic, which means it changes throughout the day based on which places are open at that moment. This helps you focus on relevant options nearby.

Want to access your map again later? Go to My Maps on the Carta Volta website, enter the email address you used for your purchase, and we’ll send you a new magic link to access your account and unlocked map(s).

Not sure yet? Every map includes a free preview, so you can unlock a first selection of spots and see how the map works before accessing the full version. You’ll find the preview by scrolling down on the page of the map you’d like to explore.
