Interactive map which let users add pins & share locations?

Postby adrian » 2012-07-09 09:14:02

I am looking for a plugin or online based map solution which can create a 'team map'. I have tried your mapping tools and I know a user (usually the developer) could simply type in their address, show the point or display a route to the location. I also tested the import feature which works great with my Excel file.

But I need more features than just adding locations by myself. What I am trying to create is an interactive map that users that are registered can drop pins at locations they are aware of as well as browse cities where locations are currently pinned.

In other words, instead of the developer (or the admin) having to go to add each points and doing all searches on Google Maps or such, registered users who are proactive can have the capability to add a pin or an address to the map in their city; so people can all share the locations in the area they know the best.

Is this possible with your online mapping software?

What you need is a map with 'crowdsourced' capability. A mapping tool with a 'crowdsourced' map feature allows visitors (not just the map creator) to add / share points onto an existing map (can be Google map, Bing map, or any map created), and then the map owner can show/hide these crowdsourced locations.

You can see a sample crowdsourced map of this type at:

Please feel free to create a demo account on our Google Map Builder from iMapBuilder Online to create your own crowdsourced map.

After you have logged in, choose Custom Google Map from the Start screen and select your map starting location. Then you can start making your crowdsourced map by following this guide.
