“I love this Google map customizer you created. It solves such a big problem with Google Maps. Quite frankly, I'm a little surprised that Google hasn't come up with something to do the same thing that your tool accomplishes.”- a Map Builder user
Map Builder is a tool for creating custom maps that can be downloaded, shared, or embedded on websites. It's used for world maps, store locators, data visualizations, itineraries, and more. If you can imagine it, you can build it.
Change the color, label, and stroke of roads, water, parks, buildings, and more.
Start with a collection of beautiful map styles, then fine-tune from there.
Switch the base layer under your style.
A print-ready PNG, sized for anything from a phone wallpaper to a gallery print.
A true vector SVG that stays crisp at any size.
Control the exact scale and DPI for your downloaded map.
Drop pins anywhere, name them, and attach up to six photos each with a drag-to-reorder gallery.
Get a shareable link or an embed code for your own site. Anyone you send it to gets the live, interactive map, not a static image.
Bring in your own boundary or route file, or plot multiple addresses from a CSV file or photos.
Invite someone to work on the same map with you. Changes sync for everyone who has the link, no accounts to manage.
Presence shows everyone who currently has the map open, so you know who else is in there with you.
Turn off the shared link for everyone at once, or remove a single collaborator without touching the rest.
