Why Scribble Maps for Crime Scene Investigation

Scene diagrams without CAD

Mark evidence, vehicles and entry points on a satellite view. Measure distances right on the map. No CAD license and no special training.

One link for the whole case team

Share the map with prosecutors, defense counsel and partner agencies. They open it in a browser. No install and no account. Turn off the link any time.

Bring the data you already have

Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or CSV. Add canvass data, call records or old aerial photos on top of the scene.

Built for Crime Scene Investigation teams

A satellite view of a crime scene with numbered evidence markers, vehicle positions, a measured perimeter and distance lines between key items

Scene diagrams and evidence

Mark shell casings, blood evidence, vehicles and points of impact on a satellite view. Measure distances and angles right on the map.

A wooded area divided into numbered grid search sectors with assigned teams, entry points and a command post marker on a satellite basemap

Search grids and canvass zones

Draw grid sectors for an area search. Give each team a sector. Share a view-only map so every searcher knows the boundary and reports back the same way.

A city map with color-coded movement traces for multiple people, time-stamped waypoints and connected route lines between several locations

Timeline and route tracing

Plot suspect, victim and witness movements with time-stamped markers. Trace routes between scenes. Add call records or ALPR hits on one map.

A simple court-ready exhibit map with a numbered legend, a measured scale bar and labeled evidence locations on a clean basemap

Court exhibits

Export a clean, labeled map as PDF or PNG for trial. Show the jury the scene, the route or the search area at a glance, with measurements they can trust.
