MapStack

A simple map building tool. Make and share maps without writing code.

For advocacy, itineraries, travelogues, data gathering, store locators and more.

How to make your own map

  1. Email the data you want on a map as an attachment to patrick@mapstack.org
  2. Describe the map and what you want it to do.
  3. I’ll create it and reply with log-in details.
  4. Style and share your map, embedded in your website or as a standalone page.
