Now you see it. Magic Maps is a multi-purpose mapping tool so easy to use, it feels like magic.

Do you work with data? Turn that spreadsheet into an interactive experience where states and countries light up according to values of interest, a timeline shows you how things have changed, and a Top 100 list presents the current standings. Magic Maps lets you display any time series data on a map.

Do you have a creative side? Click the Crayon tool to start coloring in states and countries. Click the Pencil tool to add a few points of interest, and use the Text tool to label your map using the colors and fonts that suit your fancy. List all the places where you've planted your flag, or outline your future exploits. With Magic Maps, the world is your canvas.

Creating a map is the beginning. You can email your Magic Maps files to other Magic Maps users, or you can export your maps in many formats for use in presentations, articles, blog posts, YouTube, or data programs.

Magic Maps will help you find the insights in your spreadsheets or tell the stories of your travels. It will help you share your experience of discovery with colleagues, customers, readers, friends, and family.
