Build a Case Map

4.7 / 5 · 200 reviews on G2

A top-down photorealistic satellite/aerial basemap of a neighbourhood with roads, buildings, trees and terrain clearly visible as the entire background, with an investigator's case overlay drawn directly on top: numbered evidence markers, a timeline of movement between two locations and a grid search area in a wooded zone. The satellite imagery must be the base layer, filling the entire frame edge to edge

Why Scribble Maps for Investigators

Draw the scene on satellite imagery

Place evidence, vehicles and entry points on a satellite view. Measure distances and angles without a CAD license or a GIS expert.

One link, the whole case team

Share the case map with partners, prosecutors or outside counsel. They open it in any browser. No install and no account. Turn off the link any time.

Pull in data you already have

Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or CSV. Add call records, ALPR hits, canvass data or old aerial photos on the case map.

Built for Investigators teams
