**Why use Maps.gov.sg?**

All it takes to share a map with citizens is to log in, upload a list of locations, and click publish. Say goodbye to lengthy AORs or lock-in to external vendors. Maps also uses OneMap APIs for the most accurate map information.

## What is Maps?

Maps is a free platform for government officers to use and share location information with citizens. Simply upload a list of locations, hit publish, and share the unique map link with citizens.

## Why we built Maps?

Government officers currently don’t have a quick way to share location information with citizens on a map. Instead, they start sharing them in PDFs, or raw text which is hard for citizens to search for locations.

## Just 3 steps to create a map:

* Login with your gov.sg email address
* Upload a list of addresses
* Publish to share/embed the newly created map

If you are unsure whether maps can support your use case, reach out to us via [this form](https://go.gov.sg/maps-onboarding).&#x20;
