Three steps to a map.

ShowMeOnMap turns natural-language questions about geographic data into interactive 3D maps built from live, cited public sources. You describe what you want to see — for example "wildfire risk in California" or "population density across the US" — and it fetches the right dataset at query time, renders it with cartographically correct ramps and legends, and prints the citation on the layer. The AI selects and plans; the values themselves come only from the fetched sources, and you can export the data or the analysis script to verify them.

No. ShowMeOnMap (showmeonmap.com) is a separate, unaffiliated product from "ShowMe Maps" (showme.world) — they do not share ownership, pricing, or features. ShowMeOnMap is an AI-powered data-visualization tool: you type a plain-English question and it renders the answer as a choropleth, hazard, or thematic map from live public datasets. It is not a pin-dropping, custom-marker, or location-listing map builder.

ShowMeOnMap uses a one-time prepaid credit model. There are no subscriptions and no recurring charges. The three packs are Starter ($5 USD for 100 credits), Explorer ($15 for 350 credits, 14% off per credit), and Pro ($50 for 1,500 credits, 33% off per credit). A standard query costs 1 credit; an agent query costs 5. Credits never expire.

ShowMeOnMap consumes data live from authoritative public datasets at query time and never fabricates or pre-loads statistical values. Every map cites the specific dataset it drew from, so you always know the provenance of what you are seeing. The full list of sources with their licences is public at showmeonmap.com/data-sources. You can also map your own data: upload CSV, Excel (.xlsx), GeoJSON, TopoJSON, KML, KMZ, GPX, zipped Shapefile (.zip), or paste a list of addresses at showmeonmap.com/map-my-list — matched rows are geocoded with the geocoder named on the layer, and unmatched rows are reported, never guessed.

No. The AI plans — which dataset fits the question, which area, which rendering — but every number and coordinate on a ShowMeOnMap map comes from a fetched source with a citation attached. If a source is unavailable, the map reports that instead of substituting a value, and "the source says zero here" is rendered as a different statement from "the source does not cover here". Analyses can be exported as an arcpy/Python script so the steps are inspectable outside ShowMeOnMap.

Yes. Every map exposes its underlying GeoJSON and a CSV export of the values driving the visualization. The export bundles include the source citation and the query parameters so the data is reproducible outside ShowMeOnMap.

It depends on the dataset. For real-time feeds (active wildfires, earthquakes, weather radar, power-grid prices), ShowMeOnMap fetches the latest available data on every query. For statistical datasets with established release cadences, it uses the most recent published vintage and labels the year on the map.

A standard query is a single AI call that returns a finished map and costs 1 credit. An agent query runs a multi-turn tool-use loop with spatial analysis capabilities — useful for satellite-imagery composition, site-selection studies, and open-data discovery — and costs 5 credits. Most queries are standard; agent mode is opt-in.

Yes. If a query fails on ShowMeOnMap’s side, the credit is automatically refunded to your balance. Unused credit balances are also refundable per the published refund policy.

Yes. Every map has a stable share URL that captures the full visualization state — basemap, layers, camera, filters — so the recipient sees exactly what you saw. Community-published maps live at /discover; your private bookmarks live at /bookmarks.
