The new MapTiler Server 4.7 enables searching for places and reverse geocoding in your offline or self-hosted environments.

Location searching in critical applications must be available at all times and cannot rely on an internet connection. Now you can host maps with a search box on-prem, providing a reliable platform at times of uncertainty.

MapTiler Server lets you:

  • Perform searches on top of premium MapTiler datasets on any device, securely, and offline
  • Host both maps (map API endpoints) and search (geocoding endpoints)

To ensure you get the most from these new capabilities, we are hosting a webinar on July 23, 2025.
