Maps that make the deadline

Location: It matters
Built by people who understand maps, Mapcreator delivers ultra-precise, street-level detail and global views with powerful customization, so reporters, editors, and producers can create beautiful, consistent visuals without slowing the newsroom down.
Publish anywhere, anytime
Save and export your maps in the format you need, whether it’s Illustrator-optimized vector formats, video, or web embed code. Share your cross-platform maps for news within a secure team environment for streamlined map project management allowing time-sensitive updates.
Turn data into stories
Got a data file with multiple locations? Just drag, drop, and map. Pull in Mapcreator’s live data for breaking stories like earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires, or integrate your newsroom’s own feeds for one-click visualizations. Your story moves fast. So should your maps.
Dynamic election coverage
Connect to reliable data sources or integrate your own feeds to generate constantly updating maps across desktop, mobile, and broadcast.
Work with our team to design exclusive, on-brand election maps that help your newsroom stand out — and stay ahead.
Annotate your maps, your way
Start with a custom basemap tailored to your newsroom’s visual identity. Then add your storytelling layers: markers, labels, routes, polygons, videos, images; even interactive highlights. Everything you need to make your maps as informative (and good-looking) as your headlines. That’s what makes Mapcreator the perfect mapping tool for newsrooms.
Ready for broadcast
From breaking news to live presentations, with Mapcreator you can deliver broadcast-ready visuals in minutes. Seamlessly create static, interactive, or motion graphics that integrate with your broadcast systems and look great on every screen.
