Digital Mapping Tools

This list includes tools that are not only straight up mapping tools, but also other tools that could be used to embed multimedia (audio/video/images) into maps, images, video etc. 

Each of these tools also provide lots of examples of how people are using them. I hope you find some inspiration here!

  • Harvard WorldMap is an online, open source mapping platform developed to lower barriers for scholars who wish to explore, visualize, edit, and publish geospatial information.  
  • Historypin: A way to post multimedia content along with mapping.
  • Google Maps You can create custom maps when you login to your Google account.
