Textomap

Textomap is a web-based tool built around a simple IDEa: if a piece of writing mentions places, those places can become a map. Instead of assembling a spreadsheet of coordinates, you paste or upload text and the platform pulls out location references, then plots them on an interACTive map you can refine and share. It is AImed at people who write about travel, teach geography or history, report on events, or publish guides and want a visual layer without GIS software.

What it does

The core workflow is text-to-map. You supply a location-rich source such as a travel itinerary, a blog post, a lesson plan, a news story, or an e-book chapter, and Textomap scans it for place names. Detected locations are placed on a map that readers can pan, zoom, and CLIck. Because the ouTPUt is interactive rather than a static graphic, it can be embedded directly into a website or blog with a copy-and-paste snippet, and shared maps update as you edit them.

Key capabilities

• Automatic place extraction: the tool identifies geographic references in prose so you do not have to build a coordinate table by hand.
• Editable map points: descriptions, colors, and labels for each location can be adjusted, and photos or web links can be attached without uploading files.
• multilingual text scanning: the platform states support for scanning text in roughly eleven languages, including English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, and Korean.
• AI assistant: a built-in assistant powered by ChatGPT can help draft content or look up Information, with the results immediately visualizable on the map.
• Chrome extension: a free browser extension lets you generate and view maps while reading web pages, social posts, documents, or email.
• Data export: extracted place data can be downloaded as a CSV file or opened in Google Maps for further use.
• mobile editing: maps can be created and changed without a desktop computer, and embedded or shared veRSIons refresh automatically.

Who it is for

Textomap suits content creators and bloggers who want richer travel or local guides, educators building classroom materials around real places, journalists mAPPing where events occurred, and authors of e-books or reports who need a visual index of locations. It is also useful for small teams that want Lightweight geographic visualization without a dedicated mapping specialist.
