Sharing a map

Table Of Contents

On Smappen, you have 3 ways to share a map:

👉 By default, a map is private, even for people in your company.
The lock icon at the top right confirms this.

To share a map, click “Share”.

Click “Private map”
Switch to “Public map”
Click “Copy map URL”
Send the link to the relevant people 👉 Anyone with the link can view the map only (no editing).

Good to know:

Only people with the link can access the map
Data access depends on their Smappen plan:
- With a paid plan: access to data (population, companies, etc.)
- Without a plan: access to free data only
Imported data is visible but cannot be edited or exported

👉 Collaborators can edit the map.

Good to know:

If they don’t have an account, they’ll receive an email to create one
The map will appear in their account with access to its data depending on their plan
Collaborators have the same rights as you (including inviting others)
Only users with a paid plan can invite collaborators
They can duplicate the map to work without affecting the original
To remove access: click the trash icon
