Plot multiple locations on a map

How to plot locations from a spreadsheet

1. Prepare your list. One row per location. Include either latitude and longitude columns, or an address column. Any other columns (name, phone, category, sales…) come along as popup information.
2. Import it. Drag the file onto the map, use Import file, or copy cells straight from Excel or Google Sheets and paste them into the import box.
3. Check the columns. mapbow detects coordinate columns automatically (lat, lng, lon, x, y and common variations). Confirm or change them in one click.
4. See every pin. The map zooms to fit all your locations. Rows that could not be placed are listed so you can fix them.
5. Make it readable. Pick a colour and icon, turn on clustering for hundreds of points, or colour by field to give each category its own colour.
6. Share it. Publish a link or embed the map on your website. Your data stays private unless you share the map.

Don't have the data? Add it in one click

If the places you need are common – restaurants, hotels, fuel stations, EV chargers, schools – you may not need a spreadsheet at all. Browse map data by country and add a ready-made layer; every map gets two free.

Tips for big lists

• Turn on clustering above a few hundred points so the map stays fast and tidy.
• Try heatmap mode to see density instead of individual pins – or use the heat map maker.
• Use a short, clear column for the label (such as name) and keep long notes for the popup.
