Immerse your audience with interactive geospatial storytelling

Embed rich media directly into every map pin

With smart markers, you can embed map pins with video, audio, images, and long-form text to create a centralized hub for your reporting. Readers can explore content instantly without ever navigating away from the map. By keeping all assets in one place, you provide a seamless user experience that reduces bounce rates and boosts engagement.

Visualize scale and proximity with zone highlighting

Static pins often fail to capture the full scope of a story. Draw custom shapes to clearly represent neighborhood borders, evacuation zones, or regional districts. This feature provides the visual precision needed to show exactly how much territory a news event covers, moving beyond simple coordinates to show the real-world area of impact.

Toggle map visuals to fit any reporting context

Elevate your reporting by choosing the exact visual layer that supports your narrative, from high-detail satellite imagery to tiltable 3D landscapes. Toggle to a minimalist layer to make election districts pop or utilize 3D street view to show exact vantage points in a crime scene reconstruction. This level of control ensures your maps feel like custom-built editorial assets rather than generic pins, establishing instant authority with your audience.

Empower you audience to explore on their own terms

The overview button provides an organized, chronological directory of every location on your map. By using integrated filters, readers can strip away the clutter to see only the categories they care about, turning a vast data set into a personalized, easy-to-navigate experience.

Drive recurring traffic with bucket list mode

Enable readers to "tick off" locations they've visited or would like to go directly within the map. Transform static content into a functional interactive utility that incentivizes repeat visits with fully saved user data for long-term audience investment. Perfect for "Top 10 Hidden Bars" checklists or seasonal festival maps they can explore and complete as they go.

Guide your readers through complex spatial stories

Lead your audience through a curated, step-by-step journey that prioritizes narrative flow over static coordinates. Eliminate reader choice paralysis with cinematic controls that ensure every visitor follows your specific editorial arc from start to finish. Navigate readers through a high-stakes migration route or host a seamless walking tour of a city's cultural landmarks.
