Scribble Maps is very useful for our team **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** Scribble Maps enables the user create very customised maps of specific locations or regions using different map layers/views such as terrain, traffic or google maps. The various tools and functions are useful in helping our team to plot GP surgeries in different regions with their patient population boundaries, which is useful in planning for future practice developments. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** I haven't found anything I dislike. I think a help bar which gives a key for what the different tools are used for would be helpful. **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** A very useful resource, and the tutorials are helpful. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** The plotting of practice premises on maps helps to us to identify the number of practices within a certain location and the patient populations they serve. This informs future planning development projects. ### 2. Solid Solution For Robust GIS Reporting! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rémy M. | Asst. OPD Operations Manager - French Markets (Eastern Ontario & Québec), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** The software offers a very user-friendly interface while maintaining solid core features required from a GIS tool. The import/export capabilities work very well, and they offer the ability to geocode for a reasonable price within the application. The sharing features are crucial to our use case, and they enable us to share our reports with external users at a click of a button. We also use their embedded feature on other business intelligence platforms that allow us to integrate reporting. Scribble Maps also offers a high level of customizability to maps we create. Whether you are a minimalist that requires only the basic elements to your mapping reports, to the embellish individuals that have multiple layers, this tool is very versatile and answers many use cases. I highly recommend this solution to any individual or organization that wants a lean but powerful mapping tool with an easy-to-navigate UI. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** The software would require some additional improvement on certain features. We have found that the data analysis features come short to meet our organizational requirements. We also believe that there should be further team sharing features at a better pricing structure. **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** I highly recommend any individual or organization to properly review their use cases for any GIS/Mapping software. Many other solutions on the market offer highly technical features that are not required on a daily basis. The cost of such software can often be wasteful. The Scribble Maps support team is an amazing resource to answer any questions or concerns you might have. A trial of the product always works better when you utilize real data to consider a product. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Leveraging this software in recent years has made a huge impact on our organization. We have the ability to utilize our existing data and build dynamic mapping reports to make effective business decisions. Scribble Maps have also introduced the requirement of having a solid mapping solution to many various teams in our organization. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > Thanks for the absolutely amazing feedback. We are currently working on developing a viewer seat which will come at a large discount to the regular pro-basic. Also if there is any data analysis features you require, just let us know what you are looking for and we can look to build it into our operations and analysis panel. ### 3.

Plan, collaborate, extract geospatial information for further processing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dejan M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2020 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** Drawing polygons, which can be exported for further geospatial processing in my legacy system. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** There is nothing I dislike in scribble maps. **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** If you work with maps for any business use case, scribble maps makes it super easy to visualize, organize in the cloud and let you export data for further processing in you legacy system. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Removing manual work when planning a distribution with new zones (polygons). In a traditional way, I would be required to work with a physical map and enter place by place. Possibility to collaborate with peers, by sharing the map is a big help, since a planning a distribution is usually an iterative task. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > Thanks so much for letting us know how you use us? ### 9. UNIQUE AND EASY TO LEARN **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** I love the functionality of Scribble Maps to generate a detailed and precise map that can be used for a variety of purposes. Not only is it effective but the tools provided are easy to learn and manipulate to create a map for your personal or general use. Best of all it can be generated into a PDF format for a professional look and further expand the customization using the PDF tools that can be provided. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** One thing I do not like about scribble-maps is locking a segment or line is very hard to backtrack since once it is locked you cannot right click on it to undo the lock. This proves very strenuous especially when working on a big map it becomes hard to find that certain segment within all the overlays. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Problems I have solved using Scribble maps is backtracking and data purposes. I have been able to accurately draw out a map of a job I have been scouting and can easily backtrack information and location of what I am mapping and can easily be found with just a click of a button. These benefit in fulfilling job requests in a short amount of time minimizing backtracking and easily compiling information into one map. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > So I just thought I would let you know that thanks to this feedback we rolled out a fix. So now when you select the edit tool there is a new checkbox that says "disable locks" this will temporarily let you disable all locks. So what you can do is turn this on, right click on the overlay and go to "locate overlay" this should save you a ton of time in the future. ### 10. Exceptional Easy to Use Mapping Solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** JoJo W. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** Easy to use- I was able to create an account, upload data and start clicking and creating! This gives us a great visual overview of all our locations. Straightforward process to import numerous locations at one time with a *.csv file. Simple to draw polygons to differentiate distinct regions and create and color my own labels for them. It's also great to include my own user-created map markers. I was able to share the map I selected (I preferred that to sharing everything I was working on) It is an added bonus that I am able to share my work with encryption. I love that the map loads quickly, and I can edit and save countless versions of the same map. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** i would like more consistent flag size when zooming in and out. I have not had much luck with a large printable map that looks exactly the way i would like. **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** I wholeheartedly recommend Scribble Maps. Once you come across it, and give it a shot, there is no need to look for anything else. This has so many more features and perks that I haven't even gotten to experience yet! **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main reason i purchased Scribble Maps was to be able to see a great overview of all our locations. I am able to quickly and easily center the map on one location and find those nearby locations. I know where our techs are and which locations they can swing by when needed. An unexpected benefit was to be able to see how close our locations are grouped for each of our maintenance technicians. We found a few locations in which we were better served to swap technicians. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > Shrink on zoom can be a little tricky because it starts shrink 1 level out from where you turn it on. We have some ideas on how to improve this in the future including allowing you to set the start level for the shrink on zoom. ### 11. Would Recommend for Presentations **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** I love the feature of outlining different sections on the maps and being able to export the images and it is not pixelized. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** So far I have not found anything that I did not like. **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** Definitely use this for presentations. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a presentation that needs to have a map and certain places outlines. **Official Response from Mike Carter:** > Thank you for this great feedback!

The map with directionals helps solve these issues. ### 13. Easy to use custom maps for all our business needs **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** University of Waterloo P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** It is a very intuitive and user friendly. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** It does not allow me to use common keyboard shortcuts to make edits to the maps (ie. the delete button does not delete the selected component) **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** We help organize parking for events with many different building locations and parking locations. Scribbles maps provides us with the ability to identify key information for specific events in relation to major landmarks to better serve our event guests. The tool is easy to use and easy to customize and the best way to make our customers feel good about their event ahead of the day. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** In a parking department having custom maps provided for different events is a value added service for our customers. We are also using it to make planning and proposals visual and interactive. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > So we started adding some other key combinations. We added ctrl+F which will immediately take you to the search bar. The delete button suggestion makes sense. We are going to take a look at that. ### 14. Peoplelink Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Scribble Maps?** Relatively easy to use, straightforward and simple toolbar **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** Not as easy to make changes to addresses for branch moves. Groupings would sometimes undo or revert and I would lose the organizational system that was in place **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** Consider how in-depth you plan on using your maps and then assess if SM will cover all those needs. While it's not the most expansive product in terms of options; what it does offer, it does cleanly. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Started using SM to have a clean and easy-to-update map of all branch locations. A main benefit is being able to quickly see radii around locations. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > Thanks so much for the feedback. So we have some things in the work that will hopefully make moving markers easier in the future so you don't have to recreate a marker to move to another address. ### 15.

Also, high-resolution printing should be accessible to individuals without charging a lot. **Recommendations to others considering Scribble Maps:** I would suggest people who constantly use maps, should use scribble map to build your map data in an organized manner. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can manage and locate my properties by specific areas giving them reference numbers. it saves a lot of my time, as I have to redo my area maps for every new property query. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > We hope to add 3D in the future.

Scribble Maps is far superior to other tools, like Google Maps, for making maps for presentations. It's easy to show multiple routes in different colors and to highlight points of interest. **What do you dislike about Scribble Maps?** I wish you could download even higher resolution maps for printing. Current resolution limits print size. **What problems is Scribble Maps solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Scribble Maps, it was virtually impossible to show different routes on the same map. Further, you can control the line size on roads, so you can make roads that are not on your route, more or less visible. **Official Response from Jonathan Wagner:** > Thanks ya. The resolution is pretty much locked with what you can see on your screen because of the underlying tech. That said what others have done with some success is they have used third party upscaling services so that they can make the label sizes on roads etc.. larger. ### 25.
