Collect public input where it actually lives — on the map. Residents pin the problem intersections, draw the routes they walk, and outline the areas they want changed, alongside normal survey questions. It's map-based community engagement without the enterprise price tag: free, open-source, EU-hosted, and it exports straight to QGIS.
Why planners use it
"The crossing near the school feels unsafe" becomes an exact pin, a drawn route, and an outlined area — actionable geodata, not anecdote.
Residents answer in any browser on their phone — wider, more diverse reach than a meeting or a paper form.
Export points, lines, and polygons as GeoJSON + CSV — open in QGIS or ArcGIS with no conversion.
Free to run, open source (AGPLv3), self-hostable — no per-survey licensing that stretches a small municipality's budget.
In the field
A transit-accessibility consultation run on Mapsurvey drew hundreds of residents mapping the stops, routes, and barriers they experience — the kind of spatial evidence that a text survey simply can't capture. Planning teams have used it for mobility, walkability, and neighbourhood-change consultations across several European cities.
