A static map shows a place; an interactive map with pins tells a journey. In TRAMFI each pin is a place tied to a part of the story, and the map responds to what the reader is reading right now.
Start with the main pin
The main point is the first, central pin of your story. It sets the map's initial view and the point where the story begins.
Add more place pins
Extra places (subpoints) are further pins along the route. You tie each to a part of the story, so the map is not just decoration — it is part of the narrative. The basics of the route are covered in our guide on how to mark your travel route on a map.
Pins come alive with the text
As the reader scrolls the story, the active pin highlights and the map moves to the right place. This interactivity is what sets a TRAMFI story apart from a plain gallery.
Keep it readable
Add pins where something important actually happened, and keep them in the order of the trip. An overly dense, chaotic map is tiring — a few strong points beat dozens of random ones.

Frequently asked questions
How does a pin differ from the main point?
The main point is the central place of the story and the map's initial view; the other pins (subpoints) are the further stops along the route.
Does the map work on a phone?
Yes. On larger screens the map accompanies the text, and on a phone the story stacks into one column that is comfortable to scroll.
