How to download the you mapped data in different formats

 One of the biggest frustrations in mapping projects is the lack of flexibility when it comes to downloads. Many platforms restrict you to a single format, forcing you to spend extra time converting files, risking loss of attributes, or breaking spatial accuracy. This slows down collaboration and makes mapped data less reliable across different tools.


Why Multiple Download Options Matter

Different projects call for different formats. Planners need Shapefiles or GeoJSON for GIS, disaster managers share hazard maps through KML or KMZ, logistics teams rely on CSV or XLSX for routing, and media teams prefer PNG or JPEG for visuals. If you’re limited to one format, you waste time converting files and risk losing details. Having multiple download options keeps your mapped data accurate, flexible, and ready for collaboration.

How to download

Platforms like MAPOG make it easy to get your mapped data in the format that suits your workflow, with 20+ options including CSV, XLSX, GeoJSON, KML, Shapefile, PNG, and more. You can do this in two simple ways:

  • Story Points download: Open your map, click Download, and select the format you need. Your attributes stay intact when saved.
  • Map Layers & Layer Management export:Open the Process Reference Layer, launch the Export Tool, choose the required format such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, CSV, or JPEG, define the CRS for spatial accuracy, and download the layer. You can also export individual layers by selecting them from the Layer Management section and choosing the appropriate format.
 

Where is it useful

Different formats make mapped data useful across industries: planners use Shapefiles or GeoJSON, disaster managers share KML, logistics teams rely on CSV or XLSX, and media teams prefer PNG or JPEG. Choosing the right format avoids conversions, preserves accuracy, and keeps data ready for collaboration.

Wrapping Up

Multiple download formats make mapped data flexible, accurate, and easy to share across planning, disaster management, logistics, and media. Platforms like MAPOG, show how variety solves compatibility issues. The benefit is simple: less time wasted on conversions, more focus on using data effectively.
