Interactive maps are a great way to visualise data and Canva’s design editor makes it easy to create one from scratch. With just a few clicks you can add pins, shapes and lines to create a map that’s both informative and eye-catching.
To get started, open up Canva and sign up for a free account. Once you’re in, click on the “Create a design” button and select “Custom dimensions”.
Enter the dimensions you need for your map – we recommend 2000 x 1000 pixels. This will give you plenty of space to add elements without overcrowding the design.
Next, it’s time to start adding data to your map. Canva offers a wide range of vector icons that can be used to mark different locations.
To add an icon, simply click on the “Elements” tab and drag-and-drop the desired image onto your design. You can then use the “Edit” tool to change the color, size and rotation of the icon.
If you want to add lines or shapes to your map, click on the “Lines” tab and select the type of line you want to draw. You can then click on the canvas and drag-and-drop to create straight or curved lines.
To draw a shape, select the “Shapes” tab and choose the desired shape. Again, you can click on the canvas and drag-and-drop to create the shape.
Once you’ve added all the data you need, it’s time to start styling your map. Canva offers a wide range of built-in templates that can be used to make your map look professional.
Simply click on the “Templates” tab and browse through the available options. When you find a template you like, simply click on it and all of your data will be automatically transferred.
When you’re happy with how your map looks, simply download it as an image file or share it online with just a few clicks.
