About Lat/Long Map Plotter

Overview

Purpose

Built for trip planning, geotagging, sales territories, and quick GPS lookups — plot one point or hundreds from a spreadsheet.

The map uses Leaflet with free OpenStreetMap raster tiles. Optional Mapbox/Google styles could be added later with an API key; basic use needs none.

Intended uses and scope

Appropriate when: Drop pins from a place search, typed lat/long (decimal or DMS), map clicks, or a bulk CSV — then measure straight-line distance, download CSV, or share a compressed link. Tiles are OpenStreetMap; no paid map key required. Not for: Map tiles and geocoding depend on third-party services; straight-line distance is not driving distance.

Maintenance and product principles

Outcomes and UI labels must match published methodology.

Legal and guide routes stay free of ad loaders.
