Getting Started

Welcome!

WeMap is a tool for collaboratively storing and viewing items on a map. It stores no data, keeping data in your hands.

How it Works

WeMap takes points from a spreadsheet and displays them on the map. It also allows people viewing your map to submit points, which is really just adding another point to your spreadsheet.

WeMap doesn't store any data. It just pulls rows from a spreadsheet, and submits rows to a spreadsheet, that you control.

Map Layers

You can have different layers for different kinds of map points. Try adjusting the layer=example text in the URL to layer=example2 — and you'll see different map points.
