Draw and style fast
Points, lines and areas on a clean basemap. Pick icons, emoji or pins, add labels, and make lines dashed or areas see-through.
Every place has a story
Give each place a name, a Markdown description and photos. Folders keep a big map tidy while you work.
Legends and interactivity
Visitors get a tooltip on hover and a card or slide-out panel on click, with directions for points. Build a legend by clicking the symbols on your map.
Publish to a clean link
squidmaps.io/you/your-map, with a title panel, legend and zoom limits. Preview on desktop and mobile, and keep editing privately until you republish.
Bring your own data
Import GeoJSON, CSV, KML, shapefiles and more. Styled GeoJSON keeps its look.
