Smarter Maps, Better Booking: Your Map Experience Just Got an Upgrade

We’ve reimagined the map experience on the Ripe platform to make finding the perfect place to stay faster, more intuitive, and more informative. This update keeps travelers engaged, helps them discover more of your destination, and ensures they see all the lodging options available through your In-Market Travel Agency (ITA) platform.

Here’s what’s new:

🎯 Auto-Focus on What Matters
Your map now automatically centers on the filters and local highlights a traveler selects—making it easy to explore the exact areas they’re interested in.

🔍 Zoom for Local Precision
Travelers can zoom into a specific neighborhood or district, and the property listings update instantly to reflect only that area.

💵 Clearer Pricing & Icons
Live, connected properties display accurate starting prices right on the map. Referral properties now have their own unique icon, eliminating confusion and avoiding incorrect price expectations.

🚫 Sold Out? Still Visible.
Previously, sold-out properties were invisible—now they’re shown on the map so travelers see the full scope of your destination’s lodging inventory, regardless of current availability.

📍 Cleaner, Smarter Clusters
When zoomed out, pins now group into clusters, keeping the map easy to read and navigate.

Why It Matters
For DMOs, this means travelers can find the right property faster, discover more of what your destination has to offer, and stay engaged on your platform longer. Every improvement we make here helps keep bookings—and booking data—flowing through your site.
