Crowdsourced Map

A Crowdsourced Map lets your visitors contribute to the map: they drop a pin, fill out a form you design, and submit. You review submissions in a moderation dashboard before approved pins appear publicly.

Build typed fields and multi-step forms, restrict where pins can be dropped, and rely on built-in abuse protection (rate limits, CAPTCHA, honeypot) to keep submissions clean.

What you can do

How to create a crowdsourced map

  1. 1

    Create a Crowdsourced Map

    Start a new site and choose the Crowdsourced Map type.

  2. 2

    Define the area & form

    Restrict the submission area — to a country, state or county picked by name, or a shape you draw — and build your form fields.

  3. 3

    Collect submissions

    Visitors drop a pin and submit; entries land as pending.

  4. 4

    Moderate & publish

    Approve, reject, or mark spam — approved pins show on the public map.

Crowdsourced Map FAQ

Do visitors need an account to submit?

No. Anyone who can open the map can drop a pin and submit the form — there is no sign-up step. Spam is handled with an optional CAPTCHA, rate limiting, and a moderation queue rather than by forcing people to register.

Is there spam protection?

Yes. Crowdsourced maps include rate limits, a daily cap, optional Turnstile CAPTCHA, and a honeypot field.
