Travel-time intelligence · free core map

Every decisionhas a horizon.

Horizon Mapper draws yours: free isochrone maps for drive, bike and walk with population and accessibility built in — and Decision Packs (coming soon) when the catchment must convince a client, a committee, or a board.

Live sessions · untouched screenshots

Real screens, real places

Nothing below is a mockup. These are actual screenshots from the app — from a single drive-time zone to live weather, the planet's open signals and the layers beneath a city. The globe follows along.

SESSION 01 / 14Milan, Italy45.46° N · 9.19° E

Horizon Mapper showing two 60-minute drive-time isochrones over 3D Alpine terrain near Milan — **Isochrones over living terrain**
Two 60-minute drive zones compared across the Alps — boundaries bent by mountains and motorways, population glowing inside each line.
*ZONES + TERRAIN*SESSION 01

Horizon Mapper Deep Dive analytics panel with population density distribution for a Milan drive-time zone — **The Deep Dive panel**
Density distribution across 65,228 sampled cells with exact percentiles, plus age-structure variation — Zone, POI, Layer, Score and Report, one click apart.
*ANALYTICS*SESSION 02

Horizon Mapper demographics panel with age pyramid and working-age population for a Milan zone — **Demographics on tap**
4,913,534 working-age people, GDP per capita and a full age pyramid for one drive-time zone — with 2020 and 2030 side by side.
*POPULATION*SESSION 03

Horizon Mapper population raster of Egypt showing population concentrated along the Nile on a dark basemap — **A country drawn in people**
Population rasters at any scale — Egypt's story told by the Nile alone, on the dark basemap.
*RASTER LAYERS*SESSION 04

Horizon Mapper 30 and 60 minute isochrones around Tokyo Station on a clean light basemap — **Minimal mode for the report**
A clean grayscale basemap when the zone — and its 7.6M people — should do all the talking.
*LIGHT BASEMAP*SESSION 05

Horizon Mapper 3D buildings coloured by use inside a San Francisco Civic Center zone — **Evidence, building by building**
Inside a zone, inspect 3D buildings by use — offices, hotels, retail — down to a 95 m tower and its roof type.
*3D BUILDINGS*SESSION 06

Horizon Mapper Opportunity Engine ranking lead locations for a chosen POI category — **The Opportunity Engine**
Pick a POI category and the map surfaces where the leads are — scoring and ranking the strongest locations across the zone.
*OPPORTUNITY ENGINE*SESSION 07

Horizon Mapper 3D population density across Japan at country scale — **The same engine at country scale**
From one neighbourhood to an archipelago — pin, zone, layers, evidence. The workflow never changes.
*COUNTRY SCALE*SESSION 08

Beyond the zone

Now the map reads the live planet

The same globe, the same workflow — turned outward to real-time weather, open intelligence feeds and the make-up of any place on Earth.

MapTiler weather radar precipitation layer over the Atlantic and Western Europe — **Weather you can scrub through time**
Radar, temperature, wind, rain and pressure — read the sky right now or scrub a forecast across the coming days on a timeline you can play.
*WEATHER*SESSION 09

MapTiler weather temperature layer over the Mediterranean — **Weather you can scrub through time**
Radar, temperature, wind, rain and pressure — read the sky right now or scrub a forecast across the coming days on a timeline you can play.
*WEATHER*SESSION 09

GDACS global disaster alert markers over Angola — **The planet's live signals, in one place**
Global disaster alerts, NASA natural events, GPS jamming, thermal fire detections and seismic activity — open intelligence feeds streamed straight onto the map, click any marker for the source.
*LIVE OSINT*SESSION 10

NASA FIRMS VIIRS thermal fire detections over northern Australia — **The planet's live signals, in one place**
Global disaster alerts, NASA natural events, GPS jamming, thermal fire detections and seismic activity — open intelligence feeds streamed straight onto the map, click any marker for the source.
*LIVE OSINT*SESSION 10

Horizon Mapper land-use and nature/water layers over Paris with a colour legend — **Style the map, then read the ground**
Switch between basemap styles, then layer nature, water, land use and transport over an area — the legend tells you exactly what every colour means.
*STYLES + LAYERS*SESSION 11

Horizon Mapper Overture points of interest plotted across Montevideo, colour-coded by category — **Every place on the map**
Thousands of Overture points of interest across a zone — colour-coded by category, from shops and schools to services, all the way down the street.
*POINTS OF INTEREST*SESSION 12

Horizon Mapper Layer Intelligence panel summarising land use, nature/water and transport for a zone — **Layer Intelligence reads the area for you**
Those nature, water, land-use and transport layers become plain readings — residential dominance, water coverage and total network length, broken down per zone.
*LAYER INTELLIGENCE*SESSION 13

Horizon Mapper points-of-interest treemap showing dominant categories and top brands for a zone — **POIs, broken down**
A treemap of every mapped place by category, the top brands and a diversity score — the character of a neighbourhood, at a glance.
*POI ANALYTICS*SESSION 14

Methodology & field notes

Understand what the map can — and cannot — prove.

Review the routing method, data sources and uncertainty, then use the practical score guide to turn a colorful result into a decision you can defend.

Review methodology Read the score guide

Build the catchment

Start with reach, travel mode, and the population inside the line.

Read the evidence

Compare demand, supply pressure, access friction, and confidence.

Check the limits

Understand typical speeds, data coverage, edge effects, and when local validation matters.

The toolkit

Everything the screenshots were made with

One coherent toolkit for travel-time, population and accessibility analysis — generous on the free tier, serious when you need a saved, defendable output.

Isochrone generation

Drive, bike and walk zones from 5 to 60 minutes where routing coverage is available.

Explore the generator

Drawing tools

Draw, edit and manage custom polygons for service areas and exclusion zones.

Geometry operations

Union, subtract and intersect zones to build exactly the catchment you mean.

Real-time analytics

Area and perimeter recompute instantly as you draw, edit and combine.

Analyze a catchment

Population & accessibility

WorldPop population for 2020 or 2030, plus a separate accessibility surface.

Calculate population in a radius

Deep Dive reports

Percentiles, age structure and GDP per capita for any zone you select.
