Show HN: Geomapping – One tag turns your articles into interactive experiences (opens in new tab)

Have you ever started a map to attach to your new article, only to throw up your hands in despair at the mix of complexity and drudgery involved? Then you, the Author, need Geomapping in your life!

Have you ever found yourself wildly tab-switching from article to google maps and back, in a doomed effort to make sense of the Where bit of the five Ws? You, the Reader, need Geomapping in your life - go out there and bug your favourite publishers!

Hi HN! Riccardo from Geomapping here.

Geomapping allows publishers, bloggers, pundits - anyone really - to create a map for their articles with (almost) zero work: submit the link to our platform, add a `<script>` tag to your site, and you're done!

Your article will now come with a bidirectional interactive map: readers can hover or tap locations on the text and the map will pan and zoom to the right spot, or they can click on map markers to highlight all the relevant locations in the article. It works beautifully on mobile and desktop, is blazing fast, and makes your readers' life oh-so-much better, all without you breaking as much as a sweat.

Geomapping uses multiple LLM passes combined with location search and Wikimedia data to: - Extract every location mentioned (from bustling cities to obscure hamlets) - Find accurate coordinates with context-aware disambiguation - Generate descriptions that reflect each place's role in your article

Geomapping creates a comprehensive and accurate map in 1-2 minutes, saving the author the hours of work needed to do it manually.

All the locations and their descriptions are visually editable on our platform, so less harried authors can easily fine-tune, add, and remove markers to their heart's content.

We currently use OpenTopoMap for tiles, but we're planning to serve our own and support bring-your-own-map - hopefully before the end of January '26.

API access is on the roadmap based on user demand.

Geomapping has a stable platform ready for users!

Our three subscription types - including a free tier - come with monthly quotas for articles and map views, and overage pricing for paid plans. Prepaid credits are available for credit card-free usage.

I'm reaching out now to find early users, get scathing feedback (ok, be kind), and identify niches where Geomapping really shines.
