Search an area and load public WiFi points mapped in OpenStreetMap.
Search for a place or move the map to an area you want to inspect, then load nearby WiFi points. The optional free-access filter helps narrow results to locations that are more likely to be usable without payment or customer restrictions.
This map uses WiFi-related tags from OpenStreetMap. Coverage depends on community mapping, so some cities will be better represented than others, and not every hotspot will include detailed access information.
Finding a hotspot is only half the story — open public networks carry real security trade-offs worth keeping in mind. An unencrypted network can, in principle, expose traffic to others sharing it, so it's worth sticking to HTTPS sites (look for the padlock in the address bar) and avoiding sensitive logins like banking wherever possible. A VPN adds a solid extra layer of protection on any network you don't fully trust, and it's a cheap habit to build if you use public WiFi regularly.
No. It only shows hotspots and venues that have been mapped in OpenStreetMap with relevant internet access tags.
The filter narrows results toward locations tagged as free to use. It helps exclude places that are more likely to require payment or customer-only access.
Yes. Search by city, town, or area name, or move the map and run the search again around the visible region.
Open, unencrypted public networks can expose traffic to anyone else on the same network, so it's safer to stick to sites that use HTTPS (the padlock in the address bar) and avoid sensitive logins where possible. A VPN adds a meaningful layer of protection on networks you don't fully trust, which is worth using for anything you'd rather keep private.
