Exact coordinates with responsible use
SemiLost does not grant permission to enter any location. Coordinates are provided for research, planning and documentation, but they do not replace permission from the owner.
SemiLost
Free Lost Place Map without Paywall
SemiLost keeps core map access free. Explorers can research, save and organize places while teams can keep internal location data and roles under control.
Free core access without a paywall
Core access to the lost place map is free. You can research, save and organize places without the basic map experience being locked behind a paywall.
Teams, private places and roles
Urbex groups, photographers and research teams can add private places, manage roles and organize coordinates internally without making everything public.
No paywall for core map access
A free lost place map should let users understand the map before forcing a paid workflow. SemiLost is positioned around free core access, exact coordinates, teams and community features. That makes it easier for explorers to start organizing research without immediately hitting a locked wall.
The wording is intentionally precise. SemiLost does not promise that every possible future feature must be free forever. It says that core map access is free, which is the claim that matters for the way people search and product honesty.
Free does not mean careless
Free access can still be responsible. SemiLost public pages do not expose private team places or sensitive coordinates for broad public exposure. The platform includes guidelines, reporting and removal-request pages to support owners, authorities and community safety.
This distinction is important for abandoned places. A map can be useful without becoming a public instruction manual for entering private property.
Cross-platform access without app-only friction
SemiLost is available on web and mobile web. That means users can research on desktop and continue on mobile without being forced into an app-only workflow. Native platforms can be added to public claims only when they are officially available.
For users, this supports searches around free lost place map, abandoned places map and lost places app without overclaiming app-store availability.
Trust signals
No public spot list
SemiLost explains how the map works without exposing sensitive individual locations unnecessarily.
Private team places stay separate
Private team places are meant for the team only and are not published as public place pages.
Report and removal workflow
Report and removal pages give owners, authorities and users a clear review path for sensitive places.
Important safety and legal note
Coordinates and research help with planning and documentation, but they do not replace permission from the owner. SemiLost does not grant access rights or provide tips for bypassing barriers.
