You can use any mapping program you like, but here are our favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Google Fusion Tables<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n		You can make simple maps, including different-colored points and shapes with info windows, with Google Fusion Tables. I have a simple tutorial here<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Carto<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n		Carto maps look really sleek and modern, plus you can do some cool animations with them. Carto has great documentation (click on\u00a0Resources<\/strong> \u2192\u00a0Documentation<\/strong>).\u00a0I also have a simple tutorial here, <\/a>and Albert Kochaphum has provided you a much more full tutorial here<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Palladio<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n		One cool thing about Palladio is that you can make point-to-point maps — meaning, you can show the origin and destination point of one record. You can also import historical basemaps and filter your data in really cool ways. I have a simple tutorial here<\/a>. The only issue is, Palladio maps aren’t embeddable. You can download them as static images, but your users won’t be able to interact with them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Esri Story Maps<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n		Story Maps are simple and fun to make. They’re a good choice if, rather than mapping a lot of points, you want to “walk” your viewers through a map-based story. Sorry, I didn’t make a tutorial, but the Story Maps site has great documentation<\/a>!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
StoryMapJS<\/a><\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n		What?? There’s Story Maps and StoryMap? Yep, sorry, and they’re two different platforms! This one takes a different approach from any of the other platforms: Your “canvas” is one big map, and you click an arrow to advance through all the different points on the map as a story unfolds. I didn’t make a tutorial for this one, either, but the program is really simple and walks you through the process as you go.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
GeoJSON.io<\/strong><\/a>
\n\"\"<\/td>\n		Great platform that allows you to create geospatial data and take it into other platforms, like Carto and ArcGIS.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
