What is Textomap?
Textomap is an AI-powered platform that instantly generates interactive maps from any text containing geographical information such as itineraries, blog posts, news articles, educational materials, and social media content. The tool automatically scans, locates, maps, and researches places mentioned in text without requiring manual location input or spreadsheets. Users simply type or paste text, select from ChatGPT prompts, upload images, or provide links to create maps in seconds.
Key features include geographical scanning that highlights locations on a map when text is selected, interactive maps for visual exploration alongside browsing, save and edit functionality to continue adding locations, multi-language support for 28+ languages including English, Spanish, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Korean, and a ChatGPT-powered AI assistant that answers geography, history, science, and travel questions with visual map responses. The platform offers a free Chrome extension for creating maps in the same browser tab as websites, social media, docs, and emails, plus a free WordPress plugin for instantly generating and embedding interactive maps on WordPress websites.
Textomap is ideal for travel agents, bloggers, researchers, content creators, educators, students, news outlets, and anyone interested in travel, geography, or current news. Educators can use it to teach geography, history, and science interactively while introducing AI power. The tool supports customizing map pins with descriptions, colors, images, and links, exporting map data as CSV files or opening in Google Maps, and seamlessly embedding maps into blog posts and websites with copy-paste functionality.
Maps can be edited in real-time across devices including mobile phones, shared via links, posted on social media, and automatically updated when embedded. The platform eliminates complex tools and spreadsheets, making map creation as easy as bookmarking a page.

Frequently asked questions about Textomap
What can I use Textomap for?
You can create interactive maps from text sources containing locations, places of interest and addresses, which works best with natural language. Ask the ChatGPT powered AI assistant questions about Geography, History, Science and Travel and get the answers visualized on a map. Generate maps from photos and images related to events and locations. Share maps on social media, share maps via links to anyone, and embed them in your content. Create and view maps in the same browser tab as the content you're reading with the Chrome extension.
How is Textomap different than other mapping tools?
Textomap enables users to utilize maps like never before when reading or creating content with minimal effort. There's no need to manually add locations or upload spreadsheets. You can create maps from the content as is, wherever it is. Additionally, you can create and edit maps on your phone, which most mapping tools don't provide or are very limited in offering.
What languages can I use to create a map?
Textomap supports 28+ languages including English-US, Spanish (español), Chinese (中文), German (Deutsch), French (français), Italian (italiano), Portuguese (português), Russian (русский), Japanese (日本語), and Korean (한국어/韓國語). The platform automatically recognizes the language you're using.
How much does Textomap cost?
Textomap is free to use but with certain restrictions and ads may appear occasionally. For full access to all features and no ads, you can upgrade to one of the paid plans: Basic at $8/month, Pro at $19/month, or Enterprise with custom pricing upon request.
How is payment being processed?
Textomap uses Stripe for billing, which is the same payment provider used by companies like Booking.com, Shopify, Slack, and others. They don't handle credit card information directly. You can also pay with PayPal by selecting it as your payment method at checkout.
Can I get a refund for tax/VAT?
To avoid incurring VAT charges, ensure that you enter your business information and VAT number in the payment form. Dates should be entered in the YYYY-MM-DD format.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your monthly subscription at anytime by going to the My Account area. After cancellation, your embedded maps will no longer be visible, your public maps will be limited to 10 views per month, your maps will not be deleted, your character number per map will be limited to 1000, and the use of the AI assistant will be limited to 5 maps per month. You can upgrade at anytime to reactivate your embedded maps and other features.
How do I reach out to you if I have more questions?
You can reach Textomap via the chat bubble on the lower right side of the website, or email them at [email protected]. They will do their best to help you as best and fast as they can.
Why doesn't my text or AI prompt generate a map?
Your text may not contain any locations, or there might be a technical issue. Make sure locations are spelled correctly and capitalized (e.g., Times Square in New York). The platform relies on the capabilities and knowledge of ChatGPT for AI prompts. If the text does not contain location data, a map cannot be generated.
How do I install the Textomap Chrome extension?
Get the free Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, you can generate maps in the same tab as you move between websites, social media, docs, and emails. To use it, select text on a web page and discover the mentioned locations displayed on a map. The extension allows maps to be seamlessly incorporated into travel planning, learning tasks, or casual web browsing.
