About Hitherway

Hitherway started the way most useful tools do: someone needed it and the existing options were bad. A web designer building a site for a landscaping company went looking for a service area map generator — and found tools that either drew a vague colored blob on top of Google Maps, didn't show county lines at all, or wrapped the whole thing in a clunky interface from another decade.

Service businesses think in counties, cities, and towns — not radii. A landscaper serves “Wake, Durham, and Orange counties”, not “a 25-mile circle”. So Hitherway is built around real county geometry: every one of the 3,200+ US counties, selectable individually or whole states at once, with accurate boundary lines.

What makes it different

• Real county lines — accurate US Census geometry, not a heat map blob.
• Your branding — company name rendered into the map, full color control.
• Actually free — the complete editor and credited exports cost nothing. Sign in only when you want to save a project, publish an embed, or buy Pro.
• Embeds that just work — one iframe snippet, no plugins or API keys.
• Start without an account — the editor keeps a draft on this device. Sign in to save it to your account and pick it up elsewhere.

How we make money

An optional one-time Pro upgrade that removes the Hitherway credit, unlocks 3× print-resolution PNG and transparent backgrounds, and raises the saved-project limit from one to ten. No subscriptions, no feature-hostage tactics, no selling your data.
