EasyMapMaker

EasyMapMaker turns spreadsheet rows with addresses or coordinates into maps you can share and export. It is best suited to people who already organize location data in Excel and need a focused way to visualize it. The free tier makes it accessible for small maps, but growing datasets quickly run into pin and geocoding caps.

Overview

Paste spreadsheet data or drag in an Excel file, set options, and generate a map. That makes EasyMapMaker a practical choice for turning an existing location list into a visual rather than building a mapping workflow from scratch. Maps can be saved, shared, embedded in a webpage, or printed; visible map data can also be exported to Excel.

The service uses Google Maps and Google geocoding on paid plans, while free-plan geocoding uses OSM. It can generate KML for Google Earth. Refreshing data is manual, so changes to a source spreadsheet will not automatically update a map. The privacy policy says map data is not stored until a map is saved, is not sold, and can be removed by deleting the map. Subscription plans support password-protected maps, and editing a map requires login.

Key features

Clustering, filters, radius searches, and heat maps help users make dense or varied location sets easier to read. Colored and custom markers, map styles, pin labels, and numbered pins add useful ways to distinguish places and communicate information. These tools suit straightforward operational or public-facing maps, though manual refresh means they are less convenient when the underlying data changes often.

Sharing and export options cover common ways to distribute a finished map: iframe embedding, printing, image or PDF export, Excel export of visible map data, and KML generation for Google Earth. Custom branding is supported. The former Premium Big Data plan for up to 100,000 locations is no longer open to new sign-ups, so users with very large datasets should not assume that capacity is available.

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 seven unique groups. It is a sensible way to create occasional small maps, but the daily map cap and per-map pin limit constrain regular or larger projects.

Pro costs $29 a month, billed at $29 per month. It raises capacity to 1,500 pins per map and 15,000 geocodes per month, includes one user, and has no map-count limit. It fits an individual with recurring but moderate mapping needs. Premium costs $59 a month, billed at $59 per month, and increases the limits to 15,000 pins per map and 50,000 geocodes per month; it remains limited to one user. That makes it a better fit for larger individual projects, not a team collaboration tier.

Enterprise costs $99 a month, billed at $99 per month, and includes the first 10 users, 30,000 pins per map, 50,000 geocodes per month, and no map-count limit. It is the clearest fit for a small team needing shared access and higher per-map capacity. All paid tiers use a per-month price; the free tier has the tighter caps described above.

Platforms

EasyMapMaker is available on web, Android, and iOS. Maps work on most Apple and Android phones and tablets, although some features may not work on every device. The maker does not recommend or support building and editing maps on mobile or tablet, so users who need to create maps away from a desktop should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Choose EasyMapMaker if your locations already live in a spreadsheet and you want to turn them into a styled map with practical filters, sharing, and export options. Basic suits occasional small jobs; Pro and Premium fit individual users whose pin and geocoding needs justify a subscription; Enterprise is the sensible tier when up to 10 users need access. It is a weaker fit for mobile-first editing, frequently refreshed data, or datasets that exceed the published plan caps.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Spreadsheet paste and Excel upload provide a direct path from location rows to a map.
• Pros: Clustering, heat maps, filters, and marker styling support both dense data and clearer presentation.
• Pros: Maps can be embedded, printed, exported as images or PDFs, and shared through KML or Excel outputs.
• Cons: Free maps are capped at 250 pins, and the free plan permits only 20 maps a day.
• Cons: Data refresh is manual, which adds work when source spreadsheets change.
• Cons: Mobile devices can display maps, but map creation and editing are not supported there.
• Cons: Pro and Premium include only one user; multi-user access starts with Enterprise at $99 a month.

Alternatives

For charts, maps, and tables with web publishing and embedding, PNG downloads, and visible attribution on its free plan, consider Datawrapper. Felt is another freemium option, with a free Personal plan offering unlimited maps and sharing but no own data file uploads and personal-use-only terms.

Mapotic may suit users who want custom fields, data layers, filters, ratings, and comments on a free plan capped at 100 places, with ads potentially shown. If you need a much higher stated per-map marker limit and password protection, BatchGeo offers a Pro plan at $99 a month with 100,000 markers per map and 10 users included.

Mapbox Studio is worth considering when a free plan is attractive, provided you account for possible separate billing for related API and custom tileset usage. MapChart is another freemium option. For personal or testing use with a free tier that specifies storage, sessions, API requests, and uploads, consider MapTiler Cloud. Modest Maps is a free library.

Verdict

EasyMapMaker is a strong fit for individuals and small teams that need a straightforward spreadsheet-to-map workflow, useful presentation controls, and flexible sharing or export. Its core advantage is the short route from spreadsheet data to a distributable map. Look elsewhere if you need supported mobile editing, automatic data refresh, or capacity beyond the plan limits; team access also requires the $99 a month Enterprise tier.
