Time to Forage with Google Maps

Mundraub is a German application for sharing the location of fruit trees and other edible plants on common land.

At the heart of Mundraub is a Google Map showing where you can find wild edible fruits and plants. The markers are categorised by type of fruit, berry, nut or herb. There are 29 specific markers for different edible plants or fruits and users can select to view any of the specific fruit's marker on the map. So if you want to find the locations of only apple trees you can select it's marker (beneath the map) and then select 'Show only apfel'.

It is also possible to show the locations of nearby cafes, gardens, cideries and hotels on the map.


Concrete Jungle - Food Map is a similar map showing the locations of edible plants and fruits in the Atlanta area.

Concrete Jungle use the map to help pick fruits, nuts, and vegetables throughout Atlanta and the surrounding areas and donate as much of the harvest as possible to organizations serving Atlanta’s poor and hungry.
