Importing

On this page we explain how to quickly collect places for your map in Wolf Maps. You can add places via Studio, but if you already have a list with many places, it is easier to send them via spreadsheet.

How does it work?

We created a spreadsheet template where you can fill in your places. You can start in two ways:

1. Do you have a Google account? Make a copy in your own Google Drive.
2. No Google account? Download the spreadsheet as .xlsx and open it in Excel or Numbers (top-left: File -> Download).

What do you fill in?

In the spreadsheet, fill in the following fields:

• name - Title of the place, keep it short.
• subTitle - Optional short subtext shown below the title on the map.
• categories - First create categories in Wolf Maps, then enter exactly those names separated by commas. If a category does not exist yet, it will be created during import.
• tags - First create tags in Wolf Maps, then enter exactly those names separated by commas. If a tag does not exist yet, it will be created during import.
• website - Optional website URL of the place.
• imageUrl - URL of the image you want to show for the place.
• description - Optional short description, around 40 to 50 words.
• Location (coordinates and/or address) - If you provide coordinates, we fill the address automatically. If you provide an address, we generate coordinates.
• Image - Full online URL of an image so it can be imported.

How do the places get into my map?

When your spreadsheet is complete:

1. Using Google Drive? Go to File -> Download -> CSV.
2. Using Excel? Export the file as CSV.
3. Send the file to your contact person or hello@wolfmaps.com.
4. We will let you know when the places are available on your map.

Your map will soon look great with all those additional places.
