Create a Map

Using Geocodio, there are two different methods to create a map.

Directly from Spreadsheet

When reviewing your uploaded spreadsheets - either in the Recent Uploads or Past Uploads section of your dashboard - you'll see a number of buttons that allow you to interact with them - including "Download," "Preview," "Delete," and "Create Map."

If you click "Create Map," we will automatically generate a map using the data provided in the spreadsheet. You can elect to add the spreadsheet to an already existing map or create a brand new one from scratch.

From the Geocodio Maps Tab

Select the "Maps" tab in your account dashboard and you'll be taken to the Geocodio Maps menu. Once there, click on the "Create a Map" button.

If it's your first time, you'll receive a quick welcome screen with the option to "Get Started". Otherwise, you'll be taken directly to your new map.

Click the plus button on the top left-hand side of the screen and a menu will open with a couple of options:

  • Add Spreadsheet: Allows you to upload an existing spreadsheet and map the points contained within.
  • Add Layer: Allow you to add a data layer of polyginal borders on top of your map. This includes such options as states, congressional districts, counties, school districts, etc.

If you select "Add Spreadsheet", you'll see a list of all of your existing spreadsheets. All you have to do is click the "Add" button next to the intended document and the records will be loaded onto the map.

You can also add a new spreadsheet by clicking the "Upload New Spreadsheet" button.
