Using Maps in Engagement HQ

Description

Engagament HQ can use maps to enable people to place a comment, information or other 'objects' on a map. The map can be any scale you want from the world to a specific neighbourhood. We achieve this through the ''Places' tool. It can be used for enabling a community, for example, to share impromptu community organised events, to map out historical landmarks in an area, or to map places where and when people are fly-tipping in an area.

The film below shows how community members can use maps to share ideas or information
