How to Upload Your Customer List (CSV or Excel) and Plot It on a Map

Image
Customer data often lives in spreadsheets with rows of names, addresses, and service records. It’s tidy and familiar, but it doesn’t show you what’s happening on the ground. You can’t glance at a sheet and know where your customers are clustered, which areas are underserved, or how your field teams are spread out. The structure is there, but without context, it’s tough to plan, adapt, or make informed decisions. What Mapping Unlocks in Your Customer list Mapping your customer list reveals structure, clusters in high-demand zones, blank areas that signal missed opportunities, and overlaps that suggest inefficiencies. These patterns stay hidden in spreadsheets but become clear on a map. You can trace team movement, spot delays, and add context to every row. It’s not just about plotting points; it’s about seeing how they connect on the ground. Plot Your Customer List in Just Few Steps Turning a spreadsheet into an interactive map takes just a few steps on platforms like MAPOG . Start by ...

How To Visualize GeoJSON Data On Interactive Maps

Image
Working with GeoJSON data often presents a technical barrier. Despite its structured and widely supported format, it typically appears as raw code, a series of coordinates and attributes that lack visual clarity. Without styling or interactivity, the data remains difficult to interpret, limiting its potential to inform spatial understanding and decision-making.   Making GeoJSON Data Easier to Work With Traditionally, turning GeoJSON into a usable map meant diving into code, libraries, and configuration files. But that’s changing. With the use of no-code platforms it is possible to style and explore spatial data without technical overhead. Rather than dealing with scripts, users can concentrate on the insights the data reveals such as patterns, gaps, and spatial context.  How the process works: From raw data to visual insights Creating an interactive map from GeoJSON is a straightforward process. On platforms like MAPOG , you start by launching a new map and heading to the data...

How to Create 3D Building Maps Online Without Coding

Image
Creating 3D building maps often feels more complicated than it should. Between GIS software, technical setups, and coding requirements, even basic spatial tasks can become overwhelming. That complexity has kept many users from visualizing buildings the way they actually exist, in height, form, and spatial context. The Shift Toward Simpler 3D Mapping GIS has always been the foundation of spatial analysis, but its technical nature made it challenging for many to use. Now, new no-code tools are breaking those barriers, making 3D visualization simple, visual, and fast. With just a few guided steps, you can turn flat layouts into interactive 3D scenes that reveal how buildings and spaces truly connect.  How the 3D Building Mapping Process Works Creating 3D building maps online is a guided and visual experience. On platforms like MAPOG , you start by creating a new map and heading to the Add Story section. Choose “Add Manually” to draw your buildings individually. Then, use the Search To...

How to Create Interactive Maps That Make Your Presentations Stand Out

Image
Static visuals, charts, bullet points, even basic maps, often fall short when presenting spatial data. They might show locations, but they miss movement, relationships, and depth. Without interactivity, the story behind the data gets flattened, and audiences struggle to connect the dots or see what truly matters. Interactive Maps Make Presentations Clearer When it comes to presenting spatial data, static visuals often fall short. Interactive maps change that by turning your data into something people can explore, not just observe. They help your audience compare locations, spot patterns, and understand relationships,all in real time. With simple toggles, clickable details, and clean visual flow, interactive maps make your presentation easier to follow and far more engaging.Whether you're in urban planning, disaster management, logistics,or environmental research, interactive maps make your presentation clearer, more engaging, and far more actionable.   How GIS Shapes Interactive Ma...

Add georeferenced image overlays on map (PNG/GeoTIFF)

Image
Working with static maps, scanned plans, or satellite images can be frustrating. They might show the right features, but without proper alignment to real-world coordinates, they’re hard to use for analysis or planning. The best part? Even without advanced GIS software or coding skills, you can turn a static map, satellite image, or floor plan into a spatially accurate layer. Once anchored to real-world coordinates, your visuals become ready to explore, analyze, and use for informed decision-making.   From Static Images to Spatial Layers   Georeferenced overlays transform ordinary images into map-ready layers, and GIS is what makes this transformation possible. By anchoring a PNG or Geo-TIFF to real-world coordinates, the image is no longer just a visual reference, it becomes usable geographic data. Once integrated, overlays allow planners, disaster managers, and researchers to analyze, compare, and make better decisions with confidence. How the Overlay Process Works Although a...
