ZeeMaps allows you to easily create maps from such lists.<\/p>\n<p>Often, however, the list of locations is not known to you in a table or spreadsheet, but is known to other individuals who may be your customers, fans, critics, friends, users, and so forth. What you need in this case is an easy mechanism to geo-poll the people who have the location information and create your map.<\/p>\n<p>ZeeMaps makes it very easy to crowd source data for your location map. It has features such as moderated additions, reserved marker groups, and add notifications to that allow you to start collecting location data and managing it all through your web browser.<\/p>\n<p>We have several maps that are crowd-sourced with location data. Here are some samples:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"Wet n Wild LE Spring Forward Collection Sightings\" href=\"http:\/\/nouveaucheap.blogspot.com\/2013\/02\/wet-n-wild-le-spring-forward-collection.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wet n Wild LE Spring Forward Collection Interactive Sightings Map<\/a>. This map is for a specialized product that may or may not be available in your local stores. A prominent blogger has asked users to map out the locations where they have seen the product as being available. Typically companies have to spend thousands of dollars to create such store locator maps, and even then maps may not even be accurate or get out of date quickly. The beauty of such crowd-sourced maps is that they can be maintained over time with little overhead.<\/li>\n<li>Tesla Model S Reservations Map: We are a big fan of Zip2, PayPal, Space X, Solar City, and Tesla Motors founder <a title=\"Elon Musk\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elon_Musk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elon Musk<\/a>. Whether you agree with electric cars as being the future or not, Tesla Motors is making waves in the Silicon Valley by building a high-powered electric car right here in the valley. Being such a fan of Tesla, we were delighted to see a crowd-sourced map of Tesla reservations created on a \u00a0<a title=\"Model S Reservations Map\" href=\"http:\/\/teslamotorsclub.com\/showthread.php\/6995-World-Map-of-Model-S-Reservation-Holders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discussion group<\/a>. While Tesla Motors the company may have such information, usually the information is not public and not available to the curious minded who&#8217;d like to know. We are impressed with the global reach of the reservations.Take a look!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.5.2 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.zeemaps.com\/pub?group=295135&#038;list=1&#038;shuttered=1&#038;x=-97.905220&#038;y=40.746881&#038;z=13&#038;legend=1&#038;topbar=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600px\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you have the locations that you want to see on your location map, either as a list in spreadsheets [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.6 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Location Map: Crowd Source your Location Map with ZeeMaps<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Create a location map by asking your users, vendors, friends, classmates, fans, colleagues to enter location information on a map.
