Elevate Storytelling with Custom Maps Upload

There are times when general map solutions are not enough to express the data at the detailed level you need, such as reporting sales results for LATAM countries or election results for local districts. While you can customize, zoom in, and edit any of the 800+ country and region maps in Infogram, you can also take it a step further by uploading your own custom map.To use custom maps, you'll need an InfogramEnterprise plan, which allows teams to make custom maps collaboratively for several different projects in a time-efficient manner.Creating custom maps via Infogram is a simple three-step process:

1. Upload custom map files to your library and use them in your Infogram projects. Choose from file formats such as JSON, GeoJSON, KML, or TopoJSON.
2. Set the parameters of your map, including ID, labels, and groups.
3. Design and customize the map to match your unique needs and preferences.

Once you've uploaded a custom map or chosen one from our template gallery, it's time to unleash your creativity and customize the map design and settings.

1. Choose the map type that meets your project goal: Before creating a custom map, define your project goal and select the most appropriate map type. Infogram offers area maps that show distributions within continents, regions, countries, or other locations as well as icon maps that pinpoint and highlight specific locations.
2. Customize maps with a clean design: To transform your data into an eye-catching and interactive map, leverage Infogram's editor features. Choose suitable text fonts, sizes, layouts, legend styles, and value distributions. Adjust colors for map areas and use branding to align the map design with your company's visual style. Place and customize markers to pinpoint specific locations, set zoom levels to focus on smaller areas, and add background layers for a more engaging look. Remember, simplicity and tidiness are key for avoiding overwhelming visualizations.
3. Bring your creativity beyond the map borders: Enhance the user experience and engagement of your custom map by trying different output formats, such as downloading the map project in different formats or embedding it on the web. Use callouts to provide additional context on the data without cluttering the canvas, and consider creating infographics to combine maps with charts, tables, text boxes, images, and more for a comprehensive storytelling experience.
