Cultural
Choirs, bands, theatre groups, collecting and heritage circles. A rehearsal room or a stage can have a Presence. Programming stays attached to that place.
Associations
A visit is a set of places, plus the practical stops between them.
Cultural, social, recreational and sports associations already meet in real rooms, grounds and streets. Pinamap holds those places together with their context, so members and visitors can find the initiative where it happens. Membership stays with the association.
The map, Presence and the Workspace are open to try. Claim is early access. Presence Pass, routes and conversational discovery are in development. Contact stays in the footer.
Social
Neighbourhood associations, mutual groups and volunteer circles. The map shows where people gather. Member lists stay private with the association.
Recreational
Hobby clubs and community leisure groups. A regular meeting place is enough to be discovered. An event can be anchored to that place, on the same map.
Sports
Clubs and teams with a ground, a court, a pool or a shared municipal pitch. The place on the map is the club's territorial presence. Walking, trail running, cycling and e-bike are uses of that territory. The club keeps its own fixtures and results.
Initiatives, and services that already exist
A cultural association, a community group or an environmental circle can present an initiative on the place where it happens. A heritage visit, a walking route and what is known about the landscape are parts of that same territory.
When a specialist service already does the work — a trail record, a biodiversity project, or a place to report an environmental problem — Pinamap is designed to point the citizen there. The service stays independent, and we aim to make it discoverable from the relevant place.
A heritage visit Concept, with one existing step
A Portuguese cultural association prepares a visit to several historic places, with a restaurant, toilets and a transport limit. The intended workflow is to select the territorial entities, assemble or bring in the circuit, attach historical context, include the practical stops, review it, share it, and later adapt it with Rosa.
- Select the places that belong to the visit.
- Assemble them. Today, the map can show a circuit projection for selected places. A private import accepts a list copied from a route PDF, and each stop is then placed on the map by hand. We are developing the step that turns a working set into a finished route.
- Attach historical or practical context where a governed record exists. Missing context stays missing.
- Review and share with the group. A public circuit catalogue is part of what we are developing with the organisations involved.
- Adapt with Rosa. Conversation is the intended way to reshape a visit from the map. That conversation is in development.
Today a circuit is a projection of selected places, or stops copied from a list and placed by hand. We are developing richer ways to bring a route onto the map. A numbered list pasted from a PDF is a list of stops to place, and the map shows them once they are placed.
Federations and community networks. A federation, league or network is an organisational context around the associations, grounds and host venues it relates to. The same Presence model can show that relationship. We are developing this with the organisations involved, including how a shared circuit could be published when they are ready.
