The power of interactive maps
Interactive maps go beyond static visuals by letting users explore, analyze, and interact with data in real time. They offer a deeper way to engage with your content, revealing relationships or patterns that static maps can’t provide. Your readers can toggle data using the legend, navigate the map with a search functionality, use the geolocation button to be directed to their current location and more! Using Mapcreator’s live data layers, you can create maps that reflect real-time updates, generated directly from the source.
Interactive maps from a spreadsheet
Importing data from a spreadsheet is easy with Mapcreator. Just drag and drop your spreadsheet into the tool, assign attributes like location coordinates, and see your data come to life as an interactive map. This feature is ideal for creating Choropleth maps, highlighting event business locations or for example election data and helping you turn your information into visual insights. Try out one of our US election maps on the website of Le Journal de Quebec here, or explore the Choropleth map of Nashville Business Journals.

Interactive maps with live data layers
Live data layers allow you to display information that updates in real time. This feature is designed to keep your audiences informed. With live data layers covering earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, drought, fire hot spots, fire danger, and the Russo-Ukrainian war, the platform updates automatically every 30 to 60 minutes as new information becomes available. When time matters most, focus on your article and trust Mapcreator for reliable and always up-to-date data.
Earthquakes from the past 30 days are displayed on default. Use the tool’s layers menu to filter the quakes by date or magnitude.
Search functionality, adornments & legend toggle
The search function in Mapcreator makes navigation simple and efficient. Users can quickly find specific locations by typing in a place and instantly navigating to it on the map, offering precise geographic references. Meanwhile, the legend toggle feature—especially useful when importing spreadsheets—gives users control over which map elements are displayed. This flexibility helps readers focus on the most relevant data, such as toggling between hospitals and tourist attractions or certain votes during elections.
Additionally, adornments like a reset button to return to the original map view, zoom controls for detailed or broad exploration, full-screen mode, and a geo-location button to pinpoint your current position, further enhance usability. These intuitive tools allow users to explore and navigate with maps at their own speed. Try it out for yourself below!
