From a brief to published results

01 · BUILD

AI drafts it, your data goes on the map

Describe the project and AI drafts the sections, questions and translations. Then add your own layers — GeoJSON or CSV, with photos, categories and a legend — so people can answer about the places you already know.

02 · COLLECT

People answer on the map

Respondents open your objects, rate them and comment, mark places, draw routes, add photos, and see what others marked. Questions adapt to earlier answers. It works on any phone, in their language.

03 · ANALYZE

Every answer on one map

Filter and select answers right on the map, flag and clean responses, and see where people drop off. Export to Excel, GeoPackage, Shapefile, KML or GeoJSON when the work moves to GIS.

04 · SHARE

Publish what you heard

Turn the answers into a public results page with maps and charts. Small groups are masked to protect privacy. Keep it live while the survey runs, or freeze it when the consultation closes.

Who it's for

Built for people who shape places

Urban Planners

Ask residents where they need bike lanes, where crossings feel dangerous, where parks are missing. People draw routes and outline neighborhoods — not just drop pins.

Researchers & Students

Run spatial studies without expensive platforms. Download GeoJSON, GeoPackage, Shapefile or CSV and analyze in QGIS, R, or Python. Cite the open-source tool in your papers.

Community Organizations

Engage your community in mapping what matters. Multilingual, mobile-friendly, easy to share. Perfect for participatory budgeting and public space assessments.

Municipalities & Government

Collect citizen input on a map without a GIS team. Open source, no vendor lock-in, and every response exports to GeoJSON, Excel or Shapefile.

Capabilities

Everything a map-based consultation needs

Questions made for maps

Points, lines and areas, as many as a person needs, each with its own follow-up questions and photo. Pick a marker icon from almost two thousand, and let people search for an address.

Your data on the map

Upload GeoJSON or CSV layers with photos, categories and a legend, then ask about each object: thumbs up or down, a comment, a rating. Your list of sites becomes the survey.

A map people build together

Respondents see what others marked and react to it, so a consultation turns into a conversation. You moderate what is shown, or approve each mark first.

Built to be answered

AI drafts the survey from a short brief. Questions and sections adapt to earlier answers; star ratings, rankings, sliders and an “Other” option are built in. 75 languages, any phone.

Clean and analyse

Select and filter answers on the map, flag incomplete or doubtful responses, tag them and add notes. See completion, drop-off and which links brought people in.

Export and publish

Excel, GeoPackage, Shapefile, KML, GeoJSON and CSV for your GIS. A public results page with privacy masking, and comment threads so your team works in one place.
