TH.GL in depth
Read the full write-up
TH.GL is a game-map service with a Windows Companion App for players who want to plan routes and track their position while playing. It is strongest when your game supports the app’s live features; if you only need a map, its download-free web tools are the simpler fit.
Overview
TH.GL combines interactive maps with tools for tracking progress across games. Maps cover nodes, collectibles, NPCs, and resources, with filters, custom markers, map layers, and shareable routes. That makes it useful for organizing a search or route, not just looking up a location. The Companion App adds in-game maps and minimaps, but its live detail depends on the game.
Key features
Maps and Companion App
Web maps run on any device and platform without a download, and include interactive map features, but not overlays or position tracking. The standalone Companion App supports 32+ games and automatically detects a supported game in play. It adds live position, nearby points of interest, and customizable hotkeys. Peer Link can mirror the map and live position to a phone, tablet, or another device, giving players a second-screen option.
Live mode does not offer the same detail in every game: nearby monsters, animals, and NPCs appear only where supported, while some games provide player-position tracking alone. TH.GL is a better choice for live play when your game supports the specific information you want; for unsupported nearby entities, a map-only tool may be more suitable.
Safety and privacy
The maker says the Companion App is read-only and does not modify or inject into games. It says developers of Dune: Awakening, Once Human, and Palia have officially approved the app. The app runs locally and requires no account; it uses Plausible for anonymous analytics. The privacy policy says website analytics are self-hosted and cookie-free.
Pricing
The Free plan costs nothing and includes interactive maps, all filters, and live tracking. Cloud-synced filters and marker comments require sign-in, so the free tier covers the core map and tracking use case but not those account-linked conveniences.
Enthusiast costs $2 a month, billed Free for the first 3 months. Pro costs $5 a month, and Elite costs $10 a month. All three paid plans include a Discord supporter role, ad removal, premium features, and preview release access. The listed benefits are the same across these tiers, so the higher prices are not distinguished by separate inclusions. Enthusiast is the lowest-cost route to those perks; the free plan remains the practical choice if ads and premium features are not a concern. The Companion App is free with ads, and game subdomains and in-game apps are ad-supported for non-subscribers.
Platforms
TH.GL offers web maps, a Windows Companion App, and an extension. Mobile access is through mobile web; Peer Link can also mirror the map and live position to another device. Choose the web maps when broad device access matters more than in-game overlays, and the Windows app when you want those overlays and live tracking.
Who it's for
TH.GL suits players who want interactive maps with filters, markers, route planning, and progress tracking, especially those whose game supports the Companion App’s live points of interest. It is less compelling if you need live overlays on platforms beyond Windows or if your game does not support the nearby entities you want to track.
Pros and cons
Pros: Free maps include all filters and live tracking, giving players a substantial starting point without a subscription.
Pros: Custom markers, shareable routes, layers, and progress tracking support planning as well as lookup.
Pros: The Companion App covers 32+ games and adds minimaps, live position, customizable hotkeys, and second-screen mirroring.
Cons: Live nearby entities vary by game, and some games support only player-position tracking.
Cons: Web maps lack overlays and position tracking, while the Companion App is limited to Windows.
Cons: The paid tiers share the same stated benefits, making the reason to pay more for Pro or Elite unclear from their inclusions.
Alternatives
Browse Interactive Game Maps for more options in the category. Choose GameMaps if free browser maps are your priority; it also offers a Windows app, with paid subscriptions through Overwolf. OGM is worth considering for Android, iOS, or macOS access and offline maps; its free plan is ad-supported, while paid plans remove ads. For an iOS-and-web maps-and-guides option with a free tier capped at 50 markers per map, consider Gamer Guides Interactive Maps. The Forest Map Companion offers interactive maps and guides on Android, iOS, and web, with free and paid plans. LootAtlas is a free Android, iOS, and web alternative. CollectThemAll is free across Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Tarkov Navigator is a web-only option with a free plan. For broader community coordination rather than a game-map focus, Guild Order offers paid plans and a free trial across mobile, desktop, web, API, and extension platforms.
Verdict
Choose TH.GL if you want flexible game maps for free and your game supports the Companion App features you care about. Its mix of planning tools, overlays, and second-screen tracking is a strong fit for supported games; look elsewhere if you need live tracking on another platform or consistent nearby-entity coverage across games.
Verdict
TH.GL combines browsable game maps with an app-based overlay and live tracking. Check game-specific live-mode support and the platform limits before choosing between web maps and the Companion App.
