Interactive Map

The Interactive Map: Bring Your Guide to Life

Transform your collection of places into a beautiful, living map. The Interactive Map is the visual centerpiece of your ScoutAbout, plotting every location, event, and point of interest into a single, explorable experience for your audience.

Powered by modern, fast mapping technology, it’s more than just a map—it’s a dynamic canvas for your story.

Key Features:

• Automatic Geocoding: Simply type an address for any topic, and ScoutAbout instantly places a pin on the map. No need to hunt for latitude and longitude. You can even use your device's current GPS location for on-the-go content creation.
• Custom Map Styles: Choose from a variety of professional map styles—from bright and colorful to minimalist and grayscale—to perfectly match the look and feel of your brand.
• Categorized & Color-Coded Pins: Organize your topics into categories, each with its own unique color and icon. This allows your users to easily distinguish between different types of locations, like restaurants, parks, or shops, at a glance.
• Complete Control Over the View: Set the perfect starting point for your audience. You can define the initial center, zoom, pitch, and bearing of the map, or have it automatically frame all your points of interest perfectly.
• Advanced GeoJSON Overlays: For ultimate customization, you can upload your own GeoJSON files to draw custom shapes, boundaries, or routes directly onto your map, adding another layer of rich, geographical context.

With the Interactive Map, you're not just telling people where to go—you're showing them.
