Nijimap is a free event navigation platform for Malaysia, built around anime and comic conventions. It combines AI-assisted floor maps, booth search, and crowd-sourced updates from attendees.
About Nijimap
What Is Nijimap
Nijimap is a Malaysia event map designed for people walking through a hall, not people browsing at a desk. It lists upcoming and past conventions, then opens into a floor plan with searchable booth locations, so you can find a table number without hunting for a printed guide.
The project started with a familiar annoyance. Founder and developer Joshua Chew Jay Han spent years navigating events with paper maps and random Instagram posts, and described the goal as "Waze, but for events." The site runs in a mobile browser and keeps working once an event page has loaded, which matters in halls where the signal drops.
The coverage is narrower than the pitch suggests. Nijimap is Malaysia only, and the listings lean heavily toward anime, comic, and cosplay events in the Klang Valley. Booth data depends on organizers sharing a layout, so a newly announced event can sit on the site with a date and venue but no floor plan yet.
Getting Started
- Open nijimap.com in a phone browser. Browsing needs no account and no download.
- Scan the home page list for an event. Entries carry a category such as Arts and Culture or Entertainment, plus the venue and the dates.
- Open the event page to see the info panel, the booth list, and the convention floor map.
- Use the booth list when you want a specific seller, then jump to the map to see where that table sits in the hall.
- Add what you see on the ground. Attendee reports and poll votes feed back into the event page and help the next visitor.

Key features
Malaysia event map with venue detail
The core view lists anime conventions in Malaysia alongside art fairs and cosplay events in Malaysia, each tagged with its venue. You'll see Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, GMBB, Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, and Le Méridien Putrajaya in the current listings, which helps when two events share a weekend. Past events stay visible instead of disappearing, so you can check what a recurring convention looked like last year.
Convention floor map and booth search
Each event page carries a hall layout with numbered booth positions. Search the booth list by name, then read the location off the map. This is the part that replaces squinting at a printed plan at the entrance, and it works on a phone screen without pinching around a PDF.
Creator database
Nijimap runs an open creator database for artists, illustrators, and makers who sell at these events. Entries let attendees discover talent ahead of a Comic Fiesta weekend instead of finding a favourite table by accident on day two. Organizers also use it to see who is active in the local scene.
Crowd-sourced event reports
Attendee input drives the accuracy. Visitors can send anonymous updates about hall conditions, crowds, or a booth that moved, and those notes land on the event page for everyone. The site states that it collects anonymous data and does not track individual users.
Offline-friendly mobile pages
Pages are built for a phone first and keep working after the first load. That design choice is aimed at the reality of convention halls, where thousands of devices crowd the same cell tower and pages stall.
Stamp Pad
Stamp collecting runs inside the site. The Stamp Pad holds up to five stamps tied to an event theme, and each saved pad stays with the event rather than in a separate app. Small feature, but it gives families and first-timers a reason to open the page more than once.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Free to browse, with no account and no app install in the way.
- Booth-level detail on convention floor maps beats the paper handout most venues still use.
- Pages survive a weak signal once loaded, which is exactly when you need them.
- Anonymous reporting keeps contributions low-effort, and the privacy stance is stated plainly on the site.
Cons
- Coverage stops at Malaysia and skews toward anime, comic, and art events, so general tourism listings are thin.
- Booth maps depend on organizers supplying a layout. Events without one show up as a date and venue with an empty hall, which is a dead end on the day.
- No native iOS or Android build and no Play Store listing. You're on a browser, and offline only works after the page has been opened once.
- The site is young, so the event count is small and some pages still carry unfinished interface labels.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Browsing events, opening floor maps, searching booths, and using the Stamp Pad all cost nothing. There is no paid tier listed on the site.
