Make maps fast without any code
Want to create an interactive map? Well you could go about it the normal way:
- Put your address data into a database such as MySQL.
- Manually geocode all of the coordinates, or write a script to walk through each record in the database and use an online geocoder such as the Google Geocoding API.
- Your geocoder will need to update the coordinates into the database.
- You are also going to need to write some JavaScript to call up the Google Maps API and start to draw your address points.
- Ever want to update your map? You will probably need to code an editing interface for your data.
Or do it the easy way:
- Go to batchgeo.com
- Paste your data into the field
- Click "Map Now"
- Save your map, give a it a title and description.
- You now have a custom interactive map!
Uploading your data into google maps with BatchGeo is as easy as copy and paste. If you can manage a spreadsheet, then you can manage your map. If you have locations stored as addresses, then you are done. Watch the video below to see how easily you can map data.
