Pin Reef
Hand-picked city guides delivered as Google-Maps-ready files.
Pin Reef sells curated city guide files that import directly into Google My Maps. Each map is hand-researched by a small team — covering independent cafés, galleries, record shops, and more — with chains, tourist traps, and closed venues removed. Maps are available per collection from $5.90, per city for $55.90, or as a three-city trip pass.
Users purchase a city or themed collection, receive a downloadable file by email, and import it into Google My Maps to get all curated pins instantly on their phone.
