STEP 01
Ask in plain English
Type any question about a place, a population, a hazard, or a pattern. Real questions: 'Where do people live in Nevada?' or 'Wildfire risk in the Sierra.' We don't need keywords.
How it works
Three steps to a map.
Type a question in plain English. We pick the right data, render the right map, and tell you what we found.
STEP 02
We pick the data
An agent picks the right dataset from 42+ sources — Census, World Bank, USGS, NASA FIRMS, OpenStreetMap, Eurostat, and more. You see the reasoning live.
STEP 03
A real map answers
MapLibre + deck.gl renders the result on a 3D globe with proper choropleth ramps, legends, and source citations. Every map is shareable and editable.

Frequently asked.
What is ShowMeOnMap?
ShowMeOnMap is an AI-powered web application that converts natural-language questions about geographic data into interactive 3D maps. You describe what you want to see — for example "wildfire risk in California" or "population density across the US" — and ShowMeOnMap selects the right dataset, renders it with cartographically correct ramps and legends, and cites the source.
How much does ShowMeOnMap cost?
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 3. Credits never expire.
What data sources does ShowMeOnMap use?
ShowMeOnMap consumes data live from 42+ authoritative public sources at query time and never fabricates or pre-loads statistical values. Sources include the US Census Bureau, World Bank, Eurostat, Google Data Commons, USGS (earthquakes, volcanoes, faults), NASA FIRMS (active fires), NOAA, OpenStreetMap via Overpass, ENTSO-E (European power grid), the US National Park Service, and TeleGeography for submarine cables. Every map cites the dataset it drew from.
Can I export the underlying data?
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.
Is the data real-time?
For real-time sources (active wildfires from NASA FIRMS, earthquakes from USGS, weather radar, power grid prices from ENTSO-E), ShowMeOnMap fetches the latest available data on every query. For statistical sources with established release cadences (Census ACS, World Bank WDI, Eurostat), ShowMeOnMap uses the most recent published vintage and labels the year on the map.
What is the difference between a standard query and an agent query?
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 3 credits. Most queries are standard; agent mode is opt-in.
Can I get a refund?
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.
Can I share my maps?
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. The published map gallery lives at /gallery and curated collections at /atlas and /discover.
