Our maps are very easy to use and come in the form of a digital file in KML format .

You just have to download our map and use Google Maps, Google Earth or Maps.me compatible on computer and all phones.

They are specially designed to help you locate the best urbex locations near you and are accessible at any time, wherever you are.

Yes. Our main source of new contact information comes from community exchanges. This means that it is in our best interest to respond to all requests in a timely manner.

Join thousands of explorers who trust us with their trades. We have processed over 1500 trade requests in the last 3 years. Dealing with a legally incorporated company is more reassuring than dealing with strangers or dodgy websites.

Please make sure we don't already have the contact details you're offering , although we check them every time. And finally, your exchange request must be "fair": offering a ruin and asking for a location in good condition will probably not be accepted.

After studying your request, we will respond to you as soon as possible (within 24 hours ).

To make an exchange request , contact us by mail

Yes. Our maps are updated every 3 months by our team. However, if you report a rehabilitated place with proof (photos, newspaper articles, etc.) you are eligible for 1 free coordinate of your choice.

Do you have information about contact details in our database (destruction, renovation, fire, new owner, etc.)?

1 verified update = 1 free coordinate of your choice.

You must send us proof of the update (photos, videos, internet articles, Google street view, etc.).

Updates are very important to us. This allows us to keep our database up to date, unlike our competitors' databases. It is the large number of updates and exchanges with the community that have made Carte-Urbex a trusted partner for explorers and also the market leader.

To send us an update , contact us by email

Yes. We reimburse the purchase of maps and coordinates individually (Fire, renovation, sale, destruction, impossible access, new owner, etc.)

Provide us with proof that the purchased location(s) are outdated (photos, videos, internet articles, Google street view, etc.)

After studying your request, we will respond to you as soon as possible (within 24 hours ).

For a refund, contact us by mail

Yes. All partnership requests are reviewed by our team. We prefer experienced explorers (several years of experience), with strong social networks and/or a youtube channel , although it is not mandatory.
You must have a solid knowledge of urbex sites in your region/country and practice urbex regularly .

Usually it is more or less about sharing our respective databases/knowledge . You share with us your database (map, excel file, email list…), and we do the same.

For example, you tell us that you want to share with us your map of urbex coordinates in France. We agree on an exchange (your map of France for ours). You share your map, we share ours.

But we are open to other types of partnerships such as:

Help us update our database in a particular region/country in exchange for one or more of our cards Promote our website in exchange for contact details. Give us new or updated contact details for a promotion of your youtube channel/social media.

We currently have around ten partners throughout Europe.
