Import Locations onto Your Map
If you have a large batch of locations to import, iMapBuilder provides different function in the software and on the online editor to plot all the locations onto your interactive map. You can create maps to display clients, stores, banks, real estates and more.
Here are some common scenarios when you import locations:
- My locations are addresses or ZIP code/postcode values in Excel file.
- My locations are longitude and latitude values in Excel file.
- My locations are just cities, but we don’t want to bother adding them one by one.
- My locations are stored in a different format or from a database.
Import addresses or ZIP code/postcode values from Excel file
Geocoding is required if your locations are addresses or ZIP code/postcode values. iMapBuilder Online includes geocoding functions from Google Maps. You may import your data from the Excel file, or copy and paste from the spreadsheet directly. Here is a video showing the process or click here for the detailed steps.

Import from other data format or dynamically from database
If your locations are stored in a different format than Excel files, export your data into an Excel or CSV file, then try importing again. This usually happens if your location data comes from CRMs.
We can help inspecting your data to see if they fit the software, or create custom made system to read in data from your required format. We can even connect to your database or API to capture the data in regular intervals, so your map will be constantly updated.
