Create Maps Using Thousands of Data Variables

With a few clicks of the mouse or strokes of the keyboard, librarians (or anybody else) can access a wealth of statistical information. – Sonnet Erin Brown, Legal Information Review & Head of Federal Documents, University of New Orleans

SimplyMap lets non-technical users create professional quality maps for use in presentations, research reports, business plans, or websites. With a single click of a mouse you can update your map in seconds to display different datasets. It’s that simple! Data variables can be viewed at the State, County, ZIP Code, Tract and Block Group levels, and you can customize every aspect of your maps, from colors and boundaries to the number of data categories.

Detailed Location Reports

SimplyMap’s reports made compiling the key data for my project a piece of cake. I just exported the final report and inserted it directly into my research paper. – Undergraduate Student

SimplyMap’s intuitive report tool generates detailed custom reports for any location in the country. Add any type of location to the report, add individual data variables or entire groups of variables, and generate a report in seconds. Create a single report that compares hundreds of detailed data variables in multiple cities, ZIP Codes, or Census tracts throughout the U.S. Once your report is finished, export it to Excel or as a CSV file. A single click from the report generates bar charts for a clear and concise visual display of the data.

Export Maps and Data

Including customized maps in my business plan really helped demonstrate our huge market opportunity to potential funders. - MBA Candidate

Everything you do in SimplyMap can be exported in multiple formats for further customization and analysis. Create and export high resolution images that can be easily placed in Word documents, Powerpoint presentations, on websites, or any other application that displays common image formats. Create and export large amounts of data or detailed reports as Excel or CSV files. Advanced users can even export shapefiles for use in their own GIS software.

New! Rank Locations

Want to know the top 10 wealthiest ZIP codes in your state? How about the top 25 counties with the most elderly residents? These and similar questions are easily answered by ranking locations using any data variable in SimplyMap. Ranking is a valuable research tool that makes finding important locations quick and simple.

Use Your Organization’s Data in SimplyMap

Send us your data and we will load it into SimplyMap so you can map the data along with our powerful data. Your data is secure, and is only accessible by your organization. Take data that is sitting around collecting dust and turn it into a powerful resource!

Advanced Spatial Queries

Combine several variables together into a powerful spatial query to identify your perfect target locations. For example, find all areas with an average income over $100,000 AND where more than 20% of the residents are over age 65 AND where total spending on poultry is over $2,000. Once you have identified these key areas, quickly add them to a report to gain additional valuable insight into their characteristics.

Secure and Accessible

Our users are distributed across multiple campuses – SimplyMap’s IP authentication made it easy to offer the service to all students while maintaining the integrity of our security protocols. - Academic Network Administrator

SimplyMap can be configured to require a user ID for authentication, provide open access at a public library or institution, or provide IP authenticated access for ultimate convenience. Individual users can save work for future access and create up to independent workspaces for up to 6 unique projects.

After 15 minutes using SimplyMap, I was creating maps that would have each taken hours using other GIS systems. - Business Librarian
