Visually geolocate
If your image is already geolocated, coordinates load automatically. If not, or if you want to change the position, select Assign location visually or your preferred method.
In visual georeferencer, you need to select at least three points from both your image and a background map. This is how the software finds out how to overlay the image to the map of the world.

Assign location visually
Your geolocation data is automatically loaded if your input map already has it embedded. Otherwise, images, scanned maps, or maps created by designers can be positioned with a set of coordinates or even visually. It is quick and precise.
Hosting maps anywhere
Use included cloud uploader for Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, or just drag and drop the folder generated by MapTiler Desktop to any standard web hosting. You can use the existing company web server or free hostings such as Google Drive.
