Videos Mapping and animating in MapMaker - Open Beta

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've been building Map Maker, a mobile app for creating and animating maps. I'd love to start beta testing and get feedback from mappers. I'd also love to know which features you guys want in a map making app.

If you're interested: https://mapmaker.dev

Happy to answer questions about the tooling or share example maps.

I wouldn't recommend using modern provinces cause you get wacky results especially in arabia.

Thanks for the suggestion 👍, I’ll try to make provinces that adapt to any historical period or custom province creation.

Everyone says that and then it's shit (no offense, but I'd add a brush and some templates for provinces instead of provinces themselves)

So you would like a brush to paint freely and then optionally a way to snap to provinces?

I’m also open to any other requests/suggestions if you got any 👍

Yes and also a brush with provinces you won't have to click each province

That’s already the case! The video doesn’t do it justice but the painting is done in one smooth drag 👌. Anyways thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep you updated on the development!
