Map Draw
Map Draw is a web-based opensource application designed for the visualisation and collection of geospatial data. It allows multiple (non-technical) users to collaboratively draw and edit points, lines, and polygons directly on an interactive map in real time. These features are automatically converted into GeoJSON files for any spatial analysis process.
The tool has been used in workshops with participants in various locations across Central America and customized for Makariv hromada, in Ukraine, to capture geospatial information that can then be used further in planning and analysis tools, demonstrating its value in diverse geographical and socio-political contexts. It is a quick fix in data scarce environments and can facilitate rapid response in crisis zones or areas of rapid change.
You can also upload existing Geo-JSON files to add or edit layers.
