Maptive product details

Make the map your customers need

A service map can answer a direct question: where do you work? In Draw on a Map, a boundary shows the area, markers identify key locations, and notes explain exceptions or meeting instructions. A standard share link lets customers open the result without an account.

Use this approach when your map needs to explain a location or an area. For a printed handout or a report, export a PNG or PDF. Free downloads have a watermark.

Choose by the work the map must do

A coverage boundary and a customer count by territory are different outputs. For a boundary, check that the map includes the right streets and that its labels are clear. For a calculated result, test the source data and the calculation in the candidate tool.

The picks above separate these tasks. Draw on a Map covers visual maps. Scribble Maps adds analysis to a drawing workflow. Felt supports shared GIS work. Maptive remains relevant when you use its business analysis tools.

Keep your data when you change tools

Keep your source data and map exports. Rebuild one map that represents your normal work, then check known locations and boundary cases. If the map includes totals or other calculations, compare them with a result you trust before you move the rest of your work.

For an address check on your website, our paid Service Area Widget can use an approved area to answer customer coverage questions. Set the area first; the widget does not choose a territory or perform demographic analysis.
