Make maps

Map with multiple pins

Drop pins by tapping the map, searching for places or pasting a whole list. Give each one a color, an icon and a note, and share your map with one link.

Example Five spots in New York City. Drop your first pin and they go away.

How to use it

  1. Drop your pins

    Tap the map, search for a place or an address, or paste a list with one place per line (names, addresses or coordinates). You can drag any pin to fine-tune where it sits.

  2. Add colors, icons and notes

    Tap a pin to select it and change its name, note, color or icon. The color and icon you pick also apply to the next pins you drop.

  3. Share or download

    Copy link puts the whole map in the page address. You can also download it as a PNG image, as a CSV for Excel, as KML for Google Earth and My Maps, as GeoJSON or as GPX for your GPS.

How each place is found

Places and addresses are looked up in Photon, a search service built on OpenStreetMap data (and, in Spain, in CartoCiudad, the official street map of Spain’s national mapping agency). Out of what comes back, the result that best matches what you typed is picked.

Coordinates work in almost any format: decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, UTM, Plus Codes and links from Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap.

When you tap the map, the pin goes exactly there and is named after the nearest place OpenStreetMap knows about. You can rename it to whatever you like.

Your pins stay in your browser

There’s no sign-up and nothing is stored on a server. Your pins are saved in this browser while you work, and the share link carries the map compressed inside the web address itself: anyone who opens it sees exactly what you see, notes included.

When you paste a list, names and addresses are sent one at a time to the search service to find their coordinates; coordinates you type in are never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How many pins can I add?

Up to 300 on one map. When you paste a list, 50 places are looked up at a time to go easy on the public search services; lines with coordinates are all added right away.

How do I get my pins into Google Maps?

Download the KML and import it into Google My Maps (Create a new map → Import): each pin keeps its name, note and color. It also opens in Google Earth.

Can I plot pins from an Excel sheet?

Yes: copy the address column and paste it into Paste a list. If your sheet has lots of columns or you want to color pins by one of them, use the CSV to map tool.

How do I move or delete a pin?

Drag it with your finger or the mouse to move it. Tap it to select it and press Remove pin. Undo brings back the last change.

Who can see my map?

Only people you send the link to. The map isn’t published anywhere or stored on a server: it lives inside the web address you copy.

Are my pins saved if I close the page?

Yes, in this browser. On another device, open the link you copied or download the KML or GeoJSON.
