Venue Map Maker

Show guests exactly where to park, where to walk in and how to get there. Find your venue, lock the view, mark it up, then print.

  1. 1 Find your venue
  2. 2 Mark it up
  3. 3 Add details and print

1. Find and frame your venue

Search for your venue, or drag and zoom the map to it.

Tip: zoom in until the parking lots, entrances and the nearest streets just fit inside the blue frame. What you see is what gets printed.

How to make a parking and venue map for your event

A good venue map answers three questions before guests ever ask them: Where do I park? Where do I go in? How do I get there? Easy Event Map puts all three on one printable page in about five minutes.

  1. Find your venue. Search by name or address, or tap Use my location if you're on site. Satellite view shows the real parking lots, walkways and doors.
  2. Frame and lock the view. Pick a frame shape that matches your printout (landscape works best for most flyers), zoom until everything guests need fits, then lock it.
  3. Mark it up. Drop icons for parking, accessible parking, entrances, drop-off, restrooms and first aid. Draw arrows or walking routes, shade zones like "Lot B" or "Vendor area," and add text labels.
  4. Add the details. Enter the event name, date, time and info. Tap Auto-write directions for a first draft of directions from the north, south, east and west, then edit them.
  5. Print or share. Print it, download a PDF for email, or save a PNG image for social media, texts and your website.

What to include on an event parking map

  • Main and overflow parking, with lot names that match your signs
  • Accessible parking and the accessible entrance
  • Drop-off and rideshare pickup spots, kept away from walking routes
  • The entrance guests should use, plus exits and any doors that are closed
  • A walking route from parking to the entrance, especially for large lots
  • Restrooms, first aid, check-in and information booths
  • A north arrow and a map key, so the map makes sense to someone new

Tips for a map people can read at a glance

  • Fade the background. The fade slider lightens the satellite photo so your icons pop, and it saves printer ink.
  • Label lots the same way your signs do. If the sign says "Lot C," the map should too.
  • Use one color per meaning. For example, blue for parking, green for walking routes and red for no-entry areas.
  • Test it on someone new. Hand the printout to a friend who has never been to the venue and ask where they'd park.

Satellite imagery can be months or years old, and auto-written directions are only a starting draft. Always double-check road names, lot locations and entrances before you print and share your map.
