ClearedMap

ClearedMap is an unofficial, fan-built map and checklist service for open-world games. It is best for players who want unlimited tracking and personal map annotations without an account, while cross-device backup and route planning target more committed completionists. Its value depends on coverage for your game and your tolerance for markers that can still contain community-reported errors.

Overview

ClearedMap combines interactive game maps with progress checklists, notes and drawings. The free checklist supports unlimited markers and stores progress in browser storage, so a solo player can start tracking immediately on one device. Signing in adds backup, synchronization between devices and a shareable link to your progress.

Markers are surveyed by the community and published with screenshot proof. ClearedMap says it does not use datamined material, and its team creates map backdrops and screenshots from its own gameplay rather than redistributing game-file assets. For unreleased games, only officially published material is used and an administrator reviews each item before publication. This policy is more transparent than relying on extracted assets, but it does not make the database authoritative: marker coverage remains a work in progress and visitors are asked to report mistakes.

The service is deliberately selective. New hubs open when a game has a real map to survey and its publisher permits fan content, so players should confirm that their game is among the three covered titles before committing to the platform.

Key features

Checklists and annotations

Unlimited checklist markers make the free tier practical for large collectible hunts rather than short trial use. You can add notes and drawings to any map at no cost, which is useful for recording personal routes, reminders or discoveries that are not part of the supplied marker set. Browser-local storage avoids an account, but it also leaves progress tied to that browser until you sign in and enable backup and sync.

Sync, sharing and route planning

Account-based synchronization is the sensible upgrade for anyone playing on multiple devices or wanting a recoverable record. Sharing a progress link also lets others view your status without manually comparing checklists. Pro's route planner orders markers you still need, turning a list of objectives into a more efficient itinerary; that is the feature most likely to justify payment for completionists. Custom marker collections provide another way to organize personal goals.

Privacy and operations

ClearedMap says an account is not required and that it does not collect personal data for basic use. Progress is kept in browser local storage until you sign in. Privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics load only after consent. Stripe processes checkout, cards and invoices; card details go directly to Stripe, while ClearedMap stores plan status.

Pricing

The free plan is the right choice for one-device tracking and personal annotations. Monthly Pro suits players who want route ordering or collections without a long commitment. The Founding payment costs less than seven months of Monthly service and is aimed at supporters who want the stated lifetime-of-the-site term; that promise depends on the project continuing to operate. Planned ad-free pages and voting rights are not current capabilities, so they should not be the reason to subscribe today. There is no free trial.

Platforms

ClearedMap is delivered on the web, including mobile web access. It does not provide a separate native Android, iOS, desktop or browser-extension application.

Who it's for

Choose ClearedMap if you play one of its covered open-world games and want a no-signup checklist with unlimited markers, or if you need shared progress and a route planner for a thorough completion run. It is less suitable for players who require complete, official location data, broad game coverage or an offline native app.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Unlimited free checklist markers avoid artificial caps on large games.
• Pros: Notes and drawings are free, so the map can reflect personal plans as well as supplied markers.
• Pros: Sign-in backup, cross-device sync and progress sharing solve the main weakness of browser-only storage.
• Pros: Pro's route planner orders outstanding markers, giving completionists a practical reason to upgrade.
• Cons: Community-surveyed data is still provisional, so errors and omissions can affect a supposedly complete run.
• Cons: Coverage is limited to three games and expands only under the project's stated criteria.
• Cons: The web-only format offers no native or offline app option.
• Cons: Two advertised Pro additions—ad-free browsing and voting on the next hub—are still planned.

Alternatives

LootAtlas is a free alternative with Android, iOS and web versions, making it preferable if native mobile access matters. OGM suits players who need offline maps and tracking on Android, iOS or macOS; its free tier is ad-supported and Premium removes ads from $1.99 a month. Gamer Guides Interactive Maps offers iOS and web access, but its free plan caps maps at 50 markers, so ClearedMap is stronger for larger checklists.

The Forest Map Companion is the focused choice for that game, with interactive maps and guides on Android, iOS and web. TH.GL provides web, Windows and extension access plus live tracking; cloud-synced filters and marker comments require sign-in. GameMaps keeps browser maps free and also offers an Overwolf app for Windows users. CollectThemAll is a free option across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Guild Order is the alternative when collaborative event and team-management features matter more than a free map checklist.

Verdict

ClearedMap is a strong fit for open-world completionists who want unlimited free tracking, personalized annotations and an optional route planner without installing an app. Choose it for the no-account starting point and inexpensive Pro path; look elsewhere if your game is not covered, you need offline native access or you cannot accept community markers that may require correction.
