Introduction

MapCollaborator is GreenInfo Network's online tool for creating and improving GIS data. Use MapCollaborator like a wiki - make edits, post notes and even upload your own data sets (these overlay but don't actually change the base data).

Try out this Demonstration Edition of MapCollaborator on protected areas data for California. GreenInfo Network can create other Editions of MapCollaborator with custom data and functions. Contact us at gin@greeninfo.org to learn more and download our factsheet. (1.9mb, PDF)

Upload a Shapefile or KML

You can upload an ESRI Shapefile or a KML file of your holdings and see it on the map. For Shapefiles, you must first compress them into one .zip file, and be sure to include a .prj file.

Browse your computer to select your .zip or .kml file, then click "Show on Map" to upload and display on the map.
