Take Your Articles to the Next Level with Maptive
Using the power of Google Maps, Maptive takes the data and statistics you collect and turns them into interesting maps for your readers to enjoy.
Here are a few ways Maptive can help you and your readers achieve your goals:
Pin Maps and Heat Maps
Are you using geographic data to tell your story? Easily plot the locations of businesses, events, incidents, and more with map markers to add another dimension to your articles. Or use heat maps to show the density of data points like population, crime rates, and infections to further prove your point.
Filter Tool
If you’re like most researchers you gather a lot more data than you need. There’s nothing wrong with being thorough, but when it comes time to write your story you have to filter your research down to only what you need.
Use the filter tool to decide what information to display and what to leave out. Set up several filters at once to swap data in and out as you need it to create the perfect maps for your projects.
