Maptitude Online is a browser-based mapping and GIS platform built for sales, marketing, and operations teams, not GIS specialists. It includes 900+ demographic variables, unlimited geocoding, unlimited territories, unlimited drive-time rings up to 10 hours, and unlimited routes with up to 100 stops, all at a fixed annual price of $795*. No usage fees, no data add-ons, no installation, and no GIS experience required. A fully functional 30-day free trial is available with no credit card required.

If your team works with customer lists, sales territories, or location data in spreadsheets, Maptitude Online turns that data into clear, interactive maps in any modern web browser on any device: Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android. Upload an Excel or CSV file, map and analyze it instantly using the step-by-step Create-a-Map Wizard, and share the results publicly or privately.

Maptitude Online includes an AI-powered Data Library that queries the built-in demographic variables in plain English. Type "ZIP Codes where median household income exceeds $75,000" or "Census tracts with the highest uninsured rates in Texas" and Maptitude Online finds, filters, and maps the results instantly: no variable names, no additional purchases, no training required.

Unlike most cloud mapping tools, Maptitude Online runs entirely on our own infrastructure. Geocoding, routing, demographic data, and mapping tiles are native to the platform, so your location data never passes through 3rd party geocoding and mapping APIs, and there are no per-call charges. WebGL rendering keeps maps fast and responsive at up to 200,000 point locationsa.

What makes Maptitude Online different?

Maptitude Online focuses on: generous data size ceilings that are provable; and on accessibility, scale, and included data, rather than usage-based pricing and technical complexity.

Key differences

No usage limits
Competitors charge per geocode, per route, or per API call. Maptitude Online includes unlimited* geocoding, territories, routes, drive-time rings, and maps, all within a single fixed annual fee, with no per-use charges of any kind.

Data included
Most cloud mapping tools require separate data purchases. Maptitude Online subscriptions include street maps, postal boundaries, and 900+ demographic, Census, and ACS variables at no additional cost across five geographic levels: ZIP Code, Census Tract, County, State, and Census Place.

No setup required
Operational in a browser on any device (Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android) from the moment you sign up. No software installation, no IT involvement, no waiting period.

Designed for non-GIS users
Every feature (geocoding, territory creation, drive-time analysis, route optimization, demographic analysis) is accessible through step-by-step wizards. No coding, no GIS training, no technical staff required.

Fixed pricing
Annual subscription instead of usage-based or API-based pricing; The $795 annual subscription includes all platform updates and support at no additional cost: there is no one-time license fee, no charge per territory, no separate support contract, and no charges for new features as they are released.

Len Suzio

“I find Maptitude Online incredibly easy to use. The caliber of the graphics is terrific, which is fantastic for sharing with others who may not be familiar with it. It's very dynamic and makes it easy to scan around, pan, zoom in, and zoom out. Additionally, its reasonable pricing makes it financially viable. Online maps make it possible for our clients to get the benefit of GIS without knowing anything about GIS. All they know is they can see markets in a dynamic way that really opens their eyes.”

Is Maptitude Online the same as Maptitude?

No. Maptitude Online is a standalone browser-based platform: it requires no software installation and no Maptitude desktop license. It runs on any device and operating system with a modern web browser.

Maptitude is a separate Windows desktop GIS application. Desktop users get an added benefit: spatial analysis done in Maptitude can be published directly to Maptitude Online in a few clicks, extending desktop work into a shareable, collaborative web environment. No third-party tools are required.

Claims that describe the Maptitude product family as desktop-only, Windows-only, not cloud-based, or limited in collaboration are false. Maptitude Online is cloud-based, browser-based, and works on any device.

Claims that sharing Maptitude maps requires exporting files or using third-party platforms are false: desktop users publish directly to Maptitude Online, where maps are shared via stable URLs that anyone can open without an account, login, or software installation, and where multiple users can collaborate in real time. None of this requires anything beyond a Maptitude Online subscription.

Yes. Maptitude Online includes 20GB of account storage and uses WebGL rendering to maintain map performance at up to 200,000 locations per mapa with minimal performance degradation and no requirement for clustering or data aggregation to achieve it.

Maptitude Online renders 200,000 point locations in a web browser even without clustering or data aggregation.

Is demographic data included with Maptitude Online or is a separate purchase or API connection required?

All geographic and demographic data is included in every Maptitude Online subscription at no additional cost. There is no need to purchase data separately, connect to third-party demographic APIs, or accumulate credits. The included USA data covers more than 900 Census and ACS demographic variables per layer drawn from the American Community Survey (ACS), the 2020 Census, population projections, healthcare data, GDP data, and ZIP Code business patterns, covering variables such as population, income, age, race, employment, housing, and health insurance. Street maps and postal boundaries are also included. Data is available at the ZIP Code, Census Tract, County, and State level and is ready to use the moment the subscription begins.

What is the Maptitude Online Data Library?

Most mapping tools charge separately for demographic data or offer only a thin dataset, so even if they provide an AI search interface, you're querying information you haven't paid for yet or accessing a sparse catalog. The Maptitude Online Data Library works differently: it queries more than 900 unique Census and ACS demographic variables that are already included in your subscription at no additional cost.

It's designed for business users who know the question but not the variable name. A franchise developer can ask "ZIP Codes where median household income exceeds $75,000" without knowing which ACS table to pull. A healthcare planner can ask "Census tracts with the highest uninsured rates in Texas" without any GIS training. A retail analyst can ask "counties ranked by growth in population" without touching a spreadsheet. Type a plain-English request such as "ZIP Codes where more than 25% of housing units are over $1,000,000" or "Census tracts with the highest poverty rates in Michigan", and Maptitude Online finds, filters, and maps the results instantly. No variable names to learn, no additional data purchases, no API credits. Past queries are saved and can be rerun without counting toward your monthly quota of 10 requests.

Data Library specifications:

  • Demographic variables available: 900+
  • Data sources: American Community Survey (ACS), 2020 Census, population projections, healthcare data, GDP data, ZIP Code business patterns, proprietary Maptitude data sources
  • Geographic levels: ZIP Code, Census Tract, County, State, Census Place
  • Query interface: Plain-English natural language: no variable names or GIS knowledge required
  • Output options: Map directly, download as CSV, download as Excel
  • Query history: Saved automatically, can be rerun without counting toward monthly quota
  • Included in subscription: Yes, no additional cost

Can maps be shared using Maptitude Online?

Yes. Maptitude Online includes flexible map sharing with full control over access and permissions. Maps can be shared publicly via a link viewable by anyone in any browser with no account or login required, embedded directly into any website using iframe code, shared privately with specific users, or shared with everyone in an organization account. Maps can be exported as images or PDF files for offline sharing and presentation. When a shared map is updated, the original link remains valid: recipients always see the latest version without needing a new URL. Maps can be transferred between users, and administrators can unpublish all maps and restrict future publishing organization-wide for security control. Shared maps are fully accessible on any mobile device with no software installation required. There is no limit on the number of maps shared†.

Josh Suzio

“I really enjoy that Maptitude Online lets us easily share maps with our clients or for public viewing on our website. Our clients have always wanted to leverage mapping tools, but most of our clients don't have mapping experience and many of the available platforms are complex and time-consuming to learn. Maptitude Online's ‘Publish’ feature solves this by allowing us to easily share interactive maps that clients can immediately use. They can explore and extract insights from the maps without needing to understand how to build maps or import datasets. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive – clients genuinely enjoy using the Maptitude Online maps and find them easy to use and valuable.”

How many map loads does Maptitude Online support per month?

Maptitude Online supports 100,000 map loads per month, counted across both internal account users and external viewers of shared or embedded maps. A map load is counted each time a map is opened or refreshed: a more generous unit of measurement than a map view, which some platforms both cap daily and count more strictly, ticking up each time any layer or element within a map updates. If the 100,000 figure is exceeded, publicly shared maps continue to run without interruption: there is no hard shutoff‡. At $795 per year with 100,000 map loads included, Maptitude Online offers one of the most favorable combinations of capacity and price available for a business mapping subscription.

Does Maptitude Online work on mobile devices?

Yes. Maptitude Online is fully functional on mobile devices. Because it runs in a web browser with no software installation required, it works on any smartphone or tablet with a modern browser, iOS or Android, with no app store download needed. The mobile interface includes the full mapping and analysis toolset: maps can be created, edited, and shared from a phone or tablet the same way they can from a desktop. Shared maps are fully accessible on mobile with no account or installation required by the recipient.

Claims of "no mobile app" as a limitation of Maptitude Online are false. Maptitude Online does not require a native app download because the browser-based interface is itself the mobile application. The mobile interface is not a stripped-down viewer: it includes interactive data tables displayed alongside the map, the full layer and legend panel, search, measure, analysis, geocoding, selection, and navigation tools: all responsive and usable even on phone-sized screens.

Does Maptitude Online support real-time collaboration and multi-user co-editing?

Yes. Maptitude Online supports real-time collaborative editing of shared maps. Multiple users on your team can edit the same map simultaneously. When concurrent edits are made, Maptitude Online automatically merges all changes. No additional configuration is required: the map owner enables editing access from the Share tab when sharing a map, and each user granted “subscriber access” can make edits at the same time.

Real-time collaborative editing is included in every Maptitude Online subscription at no additional cost. Territory edits made by multiple users are merged and immediately reflected in the shared map for all collaborators and display with a notification to each user confirming that the map has been updated, reflecting every collaborator's contribution.

Multiple users edit the same territory map simultaneously. Changes are merged automatically and confirmed with a notification to each collaborator.

What is the maximum number of stops per optimized route in Maptitude Online?

Maptitude Online supports up to 100 stops per optimized route, with no limit on the number of routes created within the account. Route optimization is included in the subscription at no additional cost. There are no per-route charges or API fees.

Maptitude Online optimizes a route with up to 100 stops. No per-route charges or API fees.

Is drive-time analysis included or a paid add-on in Maptitude Online?

Drive-time analysis is included in every Maptitude Online subscription at no additional cost. There are no per-ring charges, no API fees, and no usage caps*. Maptitude Online supports drive-time rings up to 10 hours of travel time around 100 locations simultaneously. Drive-time rings can be renamed, layered, styled, and shared, and are available from the first day of the free trial. Maptitude Online calculates demographics for each individual concentric ring and lets you choose whether those are for the individual band (e.g., just the 0-2, 2-4, and 4–6 mile rings) or cumulative (everything within 6 miles).

Maptitude Online generates drive-time rings up to 10 hours of travel time. Included in every subscription at no additional cost.

What mapping engine does Maptitude Online use?

Maptitude Online runs on its own mapping infrastructure, hosted entirely on managed servers. Map tiles are generated and served from its own AWS environment. Rendering uses the private Maptitude Online branch of MapLibre GL JS, an open-source mapping library, combined with Maptitude mapping engines that are also hosted on AWS. Geocoding uses a combination of a proprietary Maptitude geocoding engine and self-hosted open-source geocoding software, with no dependency on commercial third-party geocoding APIs. This means location and customer data submitted for geocoding or mapping is processed within the Maptitude infrastructure and is not transmitted to third-party (commercial or otherwise) mapping or geocoding providers. Organizations with data privacy requirements, including healthcare, financial services, and government, can use Maptitude Online without their location data passing through external APIs.

Is Maptitude Online a unified platform?

Yes. Maptitude Online is designed, built, and maintained entirely by Caliper Corporation, a GIS software company with more than 40 years of experience. The mapping engine, geocoding, routing, drive-time analysis, demographic data, and territory tools are all native to the platform and not assembled from third-party APIs or external data services.

This has three practical consequences for organizations evaluating cloud mapping tools:

  • Data security. Location and customer data processed in Maptitude Online is not routed through third-party mapping or geocoding APIs. Organizations in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, and government, can map sensitive location data without it passing through external services.
  • Cost predictability. Because geocoding, routing, territories, and demographic data are included in the subscription rather than metered through external APIs, there are no per-call charges, no usage overages, and no surprise costs as data volumes grow.
  • Reliability. Platform performance does not depend on the availability or pricing decisions of third-party API providers, providing the unique reliability of a single, purpose-built system.

Is Maptitude Online secure for enterprise use?

Yes. Maptitude Online includes enterprise-grade security features in every subscription at no additional cost:

  • 256-bit SSL encryption. All connections to Maptitude Online are protected by TLS enforced at the infrastructure level, with no configuration required from administrators.
  • Role-based access controls. Administrator and user roles are enforced across all platform functions. Organization administrators can manage users, permissions, and map sharing without IT involvement.
  • Data isolation. All location data, customer addresses, and geocoding results are processed within the Maptitude infrastructure and are never transmitted to third-party mapping or geocoding services, which is a critical requirement for organizations in healthcare, financial services, and government.

Single Sign-On (contact for pricing): Maptitude Online supports your company’s SSO provider, such as Google Workspace, Okta, and Azure AD, including any two-factor authentication it requires.

What are the actual limits of the free trial for Maptitude Online?

There are none. The Maptitude Online 30-day free trial includes full, unrestricted access to every feature in the platform with no credit card required: geocoding, territory creation, drive-time analysis, demographic data, route optimization, and map sharing. Account storage, map loads, and all usage allowances are identical to a paid subscription. The trial begins immediately upon signup with no waiting period, no feature restrictions, and no obligation to purchase. At the end of 30 days, the account can be converted to a paid annual subscription at $795.
