Map making is an ancient art and science, dependent on complex mathematics, cartography, and surveying.
In the early days, specialized cartographers hand-made maps, based on calculations and data available through enormous hard work and labor.
With modern technology, anyone, with only a basic understanding of computers, can make and use customized maps, adding to the world of maps.
Our goal at ZeeMaps is to provide you with the simplest mechanisms to create your own customized maps with minimal effort. We give you options such as crowd-sourcing map data, or directly uploading and synchronizing from spreadsheets. You can use maps created with ZeeMaps in the myriad ways that people have traditionally used maps, or put them to more innovative use with the new technology and all that it entails, e.g., get a visceral sense of location data, convey geographical reach to colleagues, friends, customers, search through a prospects list, and so forth. We provide you with the technology to create maps — what you do with it is up to you.
ZeeMaps is used by tens of thousands of users daily to create thousands of maps.
We are usually not aware of the maps in our world of maps, unless someone notifies us through an email, or a support call. Sometimes a map comes to our attention when it gains prominence in the social web.
In the maps gallery, we’ve pulled together maps that highlight different capabilities of ZeeMaps, or demonstrate use cases that might not be otherwise obvious. This is an ongoing effort. We’ll add more maps to this gallery as we discover interesting samples.
If you’ve made an exciting map, or have seen one, please let us know through the comments and we’ll review it for the gallery.
We are constantly working to improve ZeeMaps to make it more useful and easier to use. If there’s something that you’d like us to add to ZeeMaps, or modify, tell us.
That’s really great piece of software. Rich in features! Definitely will use it for maps creation.Thank you and wish you best.
Hello — I’m curious if ZeeMaps can be translated into other languages? Are there any examples of non-English speaking communities using ZeeMaps as a crowdsourced map? Any thoughts about doing this would be greatly appreciated 🙂
ping!
Hi Kate,
Sorry for the delay. We were caught up in some server issues. We do have some Spanish and Russian communities using ZeeMaps for crowdsourcing. Typically they publish the map with an Add button on their own website. The Add dialog is somewhat customizable to different languages. Send us a DM at support@zeemaps.com in case this will work for you and we can work with you on the dialog customizations that you need.
Thank you! I will play around with customizing the Add dialog and will DM you with any questions I have. Really appreciate the response and this tool!
I’m looking for a map that I can add to a page on my website. I want users to be able to add their location manually. The map will show where everyone that belong to my project is located. I use wordpress. Does zeemaps do this?
Hi Richard,
Yes, you should be able to this with ZeeMaps. Create a map and then use the Print or Share -> Publish in Website menu item on the map to get the code to publish the map on your website. Make sure you check the box for “Allow Additions” when getting the publish code.
If you want to moderate additions, use the Map -> Settings menu to get to the settings page and then use the Additions tab to set the setting for: New entries must be approved by map Admins.
Thank you for providing this free map.
pls help me to find the map of bangladesh, barisal city
Hi,
Please create a map, and then enter Barisal City, Bangladesh, in the small “Go to…” input control towards the right in the menu bar above the map.
That should take the map to Barisal. Then, you can use the Print or Share -> PDF/PNG Image menu item on the map to get an image.
pls help me to find the map of bangladesh

We are in the process of creating a print Resource book for a particular area, and would like to have the centerfold as a map locating the various event facilities, would this be the program to use? Not sure how to mark the various facilities in print rather than web. We may eventually want to add it to our website, possibly have our advertisers posted on the map?
Hi Nancy,
Once you create a map you can use the Print or Share -> PDF/PNG Image menu item to get an image in high resolution, and custom size, for your map.
Let us know if we can provide more details.
Hi Michelle,
Glad to know that ZeeMaps was helpful. Thanks for posting.
