Import an XLS (Excel), CSV or TAB file

The spreadsheet is one of the most widespread format for storing and managing semi-structured data within businesses. We've done our best to ease the transition between your business data and mapspread by supporting all the common formats.

Assign geographical types to columns

Assign spatial metadata to your sheets so that mapspread can easily geocode your data if you specify types such as address, city, state, zip or country. It does not matter if you don't have the latitude/longitude: mapspread will find them for you.

Visualize your data on the map

Each sheet being imported is transformed into a manageable layer on the map.

Organize your data in customized layers

Split your data in multiple organized layers. Each layer can be customized by assigning a custom color or icon to its markers.

Manipulate rows and columns

Just like a spreadsheet application, you have the possibility to modify columns and rows for each layers.

Drag markers

Should the geocoding process fail, you can adjust the marker position by dragging it on the map.

Instant gratification on the map

All your data changes made to geo-typed columns are updated right away on the map.

Build your organization

Add users to your organization to let them collaborate and share layers in real-time.

Give access to your layers

Give specific rights to users with simple access control management for each layer.

Collaborate in realtime

Every user can collaborate on the layer they have access to. Every action is broadcasted to users sharing it.

Discuss

As a bonus, we've added a chat room to discuss with people in your organization about issues, fixes and tasks about your layers.

Choose layers to publish

Upon publishing a map application, preview and select a combination of relevant layers.

Define custom templates for each layers

With the help of a rich text editor, define custom info-window templates for each layers. Embed custom metadata within your templates.

Customize the map controls

Fully customize the maps controls that will appear on your publication such as scaling, overview, map types, zoom, pan, scroll wheel zoom.

Your publication for your users

Once your application is done, you are free to embed it anywhere on a website, blog, forum, etc. You can also give a direct link to your friends. We take care of hosting everything.
