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.

Urbex Teams with Private Places and Roles
Teams are a core SemiLost feature. Groups can add private places, manage roles and permissions and organize coordinates internally without publishing every research spot.
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.
Private organization for urbex groups
Teams are one of the strongest SemiLost features because abandoned place research is rarely a single-person workflow. Groups often coordinate through chats, shared map lists or spreadsheets. SemiLost Teams are designed to keep that work attached to places, coordinates, roles and permissions.
A team can plan photography trips, organize private research, compare regions and keep sensitive notes away from public pages. This creates a clearer separation between community discovery and private group organization.
Roles, permissions and private places
Roles make teams more useful than a plain link list. A group can define who manages places, who reviews information and who only needs access to planning details. Private team places are not public public place pages and are not added to public place pages.
This matters for privacy and safety. Some places should be discussed internally, verified, restricted or removed rather than being promoted as public coordinates.
Better than scattered tools
WhatsApp threads, Google Maps lists and spreadsheets can work for a small group, but they become hard to maintain. SemiLost Teams keep map context, exact coordinates, private notes and roles closer to the actual place data.
That is the reason teams are repeatedly linked from the map, coordinates and free access pages. They are not an add-on; they are a core part of how SemiLost handles responsible organization.
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.
