The easiest way to create custom maps! Telling your friends where the party is or informing your colleagues how to get to the client’s address is very important, so make it easy with MapMarkup. Add arrows, labels and more to highlight the details and share! You can add unlimited markup to your global map and MapMarkup will remember it all. There’s no need to re-create a map ever. Freehand lines and shapes in different colours allow you to make it easy for your friends to get to exactly where they need to go, and you can draw on road maps or satellite images as well. Share maps to facebook, twitter, email and more. You can add several maps to a message too, so letting people know about that tricky motorway exit on the way to your place is easy.
