## Help

New here? geojson.io is a quick, simple tool for creating, viewing, and sharing maps. geojson.io is named after GeoJSON, an open source data format, and it supports GeoJSON in all ways - but also accepts KML, GPX, CSV, TopoJSON, and other formats.

### I've got data

If you have data, like a KML, GeoJSON, or CSV file, just drag & drop it onto the page or click 'Open' and 'Import' - your data should appear on the map!

### I want to draw features

Click the drawing tools on the left-hand side to draw points, polygons, lines and rectangles. After you're done drawing the shapes, you can add information to each feature by clicking on it, editing the feature's properties, and clicking 'Save'.

Properties in GeoJSON are stored as 'key value pairs' - so, for instance, if you wanted to add a name to each feature, type 'name' in the first table field, and the name of the feature in the second.

### I want to use my map everywhere

You can share maps in quite a few ways! If you save your map here, the URL of this page will update and you can link send friends the link to share the map, or you can click 'Download' to grab the raw GeoJSON data and use it in other software, like TileMill or Leaflet.

### I'm a coder

geojson.io has an array of cli tools that make it easy to go from a GeoJSON file on your computer to geojson.io.

### Protips?

- cmd+s: save map to github gists
- cmd+a: download map as geojson
- arrow keys: navigate the map

### Privacy & License Issues

- Clicking save by default saves to a private GitHub Gist - so it will only be accessible to people you share the URL with, and creating it won't appear in your GitHub timeline.
- The data you create and modify in geojson.io doesn't acquire any additional license: if it's secret and copyrighted, it will remain that way - it doesn't have to be public or open source.
