How to Use the World Mapping Tool

What is this tool?

This interactive mapping tool harnesses the power of OpenStreetMap to give you a flexible canvas for geographic visualization. Whether you are a student exploring geography, a logistics manager planning routes, or an enthusiast tracking travel, this tool allows you to overlay your own data onto the world.

Drawing Controls

Use the toolbar on the right side of the map to access drawing modes:

  • Markers: Drop pins to identify specific locations like cities, landmarks, or assets.
  • Polylines: Draw connected lines to measure distances, trace routes, or map boundaries.
  • Polygons: Create enclosed shapes to define areas—perfect for territory mapping or zoning.
  • Edit Mode: Click the edit icon to drag existing points and reshape your drawings.

Import & Export Data

Your data isn't locked here. We support standard geospatial formats to ensure interoperability with professional GIS software like Google Earth, ArcGIS, and QGIS.

  • Import KML/GeoJSON: Bringing existing files into the tool is as simple as clicking "Import" in the sidebar. This allows you to view complicated datasets without needing heavy desktop software.
  • Export as KML: Save your work as a .kml file to open it immediately in Google Earth.
  • Export as GeoJSON: For developers and analysts, GeoJSON offers a lightweight, web-friendly format for your spatial data.
