How the map works

Addresses are found with the Photon geocoder from OpenStreetMap data; the map is OpenStreetMap. Pins are WGS84 coordinates.

The share link stores the pins after the # in the web address. Browsers never send that part to the server, so this site stores nothing and anyone with the link sees the same pins.

Downloads are standard KML, GeoJSON and CSV that open in Google Earth, Google My Maps, QGIS and spreadsheets.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account?

No. The map lives in the link and the files you download.

How many pins can I add?

Up to 300 in a share link.

Can I import pins into Google My Maps?

Yes, download KML or CSV and import it into a My Maps layer.

Is my map private?

Only people with the link can see it, and the pins are not stored on this site.

Can I add pins from a spreadsheet?

Use CSV to Map for many rows at once.
