How to make a custom interactive map with your own fields and buttons.

Updated over a month ago

You can create an interactive map for different scenarios. Custom fields allow you to customize map to whatever use case or scenario you have. Think of it like creating different map apps!

Here are some examples we like:

  • Real estate listings - Add a custom field for how much the listing costs

  • Events map - Add a custom field for the date, time. See template.

  • Business directories - Add a custom button to link to each website, or to make a reservation

  • Store Locator - Add a custom field for the business type

  • Wedding map - Add a custom field

  • Collaborative map - Add who it was added by, and specific the description

  • Restaurant map - Specify the price

In "Edit fields" you can "Add custom fields" which are fields that show up on your panel. Or, you can "Add button" which allows you to add up to two buttons that also show up on your panel.

You can also hide certain fields, and re-order your custom fields.

3. Link your import settings to your new fields (Optional)

If you’re using a CSV, or Sheets import, here’s how to make sure your columns from your spreadsheet will be mapped to your map. In the import modal, you’ll see a list of all your fields in PamPam. In the dropdown you’ll see your spreadsheet columns. Make sure you match your spreadsheet column to the PamPam fields to have them update correctly.
