Mapspread | Map enable everything!


Mapspread lets users create interactive mapping applications and allows them to manage their geo-data.

It allows you to import or manually add data such as addresses into an interactive map (powered by Google Maps (Google Maps)). This map can be used for everything from store locators to real-time collaboration. You simply add information in layers and customize it to your needs.

he interface itself is very clean and overall, it’s simple to learn how to use it. You can edit the names, colors, text, the map size, and even upload images (so you can have your logo). Once you’re doing making your map, you can then embed it, which is great for a company website. One issue, though – if you get disconnected from the server, the entire thing becomes impossible to use because of a big “reconnecting” message. This can be a big turn-off to the product and another method for editing data when disconnected (or a less intrusive warning) is needed.

Overall, Mapspread provides an addition and superb layer of functionality to Google Maps. It makes for a very professional application that is very customizable. The killer features are its importing abilities (spreadsheets, Google MyMaps, KML, MapInfo TAB files, and more are supported), the ability to create locator apps, and its simple management interface.
