EasyMapMaker

EasyMapMaker is a spreadsheet-to-map tool for turning address or coordinate data into shareable maps. It is strongest for people who need to visualize an existing location list rather than build a broader mapping workflow. The free tier covers small projects, while higher pin and geocoding needs call for a paid plan.

Overview

Paste spreadsheet data or drag in an Excel file, set options, and generate a map. That focused workflow is convenient when locations already live in a spreadsheet; it is less suited to teams that need maps to stay synchronized with changing source data, since refreshes are manual.

Saved maps can be shared, embedded on a webpage with an iframe, or printed. Users can export maps as images or PDFs, and export the data currently visible on a map to Excel. KML generation provides a route to Google Earth. Paid plans use Google Maps and Google geocoding, while the free plan uses OSM for geocoding.

The privacy policy says EasyMapMaker does not sell data and does not store map data until a map is saved. Saved map data can be removed by deleting the map. Subscription plans support password-protected maps, and access to a map’s edit page requires login.

Key features

Clustering, filtering, radius searches, and heat maps help make location sets easier to interpret, particularly when many pins would otherwise crowd the display. Colored and custom markers, map styles, pin labels, and numbered pins give users practical ways to distinguish locations and make a map more readable.

These features support presentable maps without requiring a separate mapping workflow, but the service is not a live spreadsheet connection: changes to the source data need a manual refresh. The former Premium Big Data plan for up to 100,000 locations is no longer open to new sign-ups, so users planning maps at that scale should not assume EasyMapMaker can meet that requirement through a standard new subscription.

Pricing

EasyMapMaker is freemium, with a 7-day trial and paid plans starting at $29/user/mo. The free Basic plan costs nothing and allows 250 pins per map, 20 maps a day, and 7 unique groups. It is a sensible way to make small maps, but the per-map pin ceiling makes it a poor fit for larger location sets.

Pro costs $29 a month, billed $29 per month. It raises capacity to 1,500 pins per map and 15,000 geocodes per month, with one user and no limit on maps. This is the entry paid option for an individual who needs more room than Basic provides.

Premium costs $59 a month, billed $59 per month. It allows 15,000 pins per map and 50,000 geocodes per month, still for one user and unlimited maps. Choose it when the larger per-map ceiling or geocoding quota matters; it does not add seats over Pro.

Enterprise costs $99 a month, billed $99 per month. It includes 30,000 pins per map, 50,000 geocodes per month, the first 10 users, and unlimited maps. Its seat allowance makes it the clearest fit for a small team, while the geocoding quota is the same as Premium’s. The free plan and Pro and Premium plans have lower pin or geocoding allowances than Enterprise; the paid individual plans also include only one user.

Platforms

EasyMapMaker is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Maps work on most Apple and Android phones and tablets, although some features may not be supported on every device. Building or editing maps on mobile and tablet is possible, but the maker does not recommend or support it, so users who need mobile map creation should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

EasyMapMaker is a good match for individuals or small teams who maintain location data in spreadsheets and want options for styling, filtering, sharing, and exporting maps. Basic suits modest maps; Pro and Premium fit users who need higher limits but not multiple seats; Enterprise is the appropriate tier for up to 10 included users. It is a weaker choice for mobile-first editing, automatic data refresh, or new projects requiring up to 100,000 locations.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Spreadsheet input turns existing address or coordinate lists into maps without requiring users to rebuild the data in a mapping tool.
• Pro: Sharing, iframe embedding, printing, image and PDF exports, and Excel export give maps several practical ways to circulate or reuse the information.
• Pro: Multiple pin, filtering, and display options help users make maps clearer for different audiences and location sets.
• Con: The free plan tops out at 250 pins per map, so larger projects require a paid plan.
• Con: Data refresh is manual, which adds upkeep when the spreadsheet changes.
• Con: Mobile map building and editing are unsupported, despite mobile access to maps.
• Con: Pro and Premium include one user each; teams needing shared seats must consider Enterprise.

Alternatives

Datawrapper is worth considering for users who want a broader charts, maps, and tables package with web publishing, embedding, and PNG downloads on its free plan; that plan shows attribution.

Felt offers unlimited maps and sharing on its free Personal plan, but that plan does not allow own data file uploads and is for personal use only. It may suit users prioritizing free map sharing over spreadsheet-file uploads.

Mapotic is an alternative for users who want a free map builder with 100 places, custom fields, data layers, filters, ratings, and comments; ads may appear.

MapChart is another freemium mapping option to compare when selecting a map-making tool.

MapTiler Cloud may suit testing, personal, or non-commercial use that needs a free allowance of 5 GB storage, 5,000 sessions per month, 100,000 API requests per month, and 100 uploads per month.

Maputnik is a free, open-source visual editor with online, CLI, or Docker use, for readers who prefer that kind of editing tool.

Scribble Maps is worth comparing for users whose needs fit its free allowance of five lifetime map saves, one user, and 450×450px images.

Visme is a freemium option for readers looking for a broader visual-content tool rather than a spreadsheet-to-map workflow.

Verdict

Choose EasyMapMaker if you have spreadsheet-based location data and want a direct way to turn it into a styled, shareable map with useful export options. Its main advantage is that focused spreadsheet-to-map workflow; its main drawbacks are manual refreshing and unsupported mobile editing. Check the Basic pin ceiling, paid geocoding quotas, and seat limits against your project before committing.
