My collaboration with Chiara was seamless from start to finish...The quality of her work surpassed my expectation and she brought a very modern touch to the project. She makes what she does look so easy and she is very resourceful...she didn't wait for some support on our part to start working with the data, etc...This is a very valuable quality in my opinion!

Click 2 Vector

Create and export spatial point data from a few map clicks or a spreadsheet.

This app was inspired by one of my favorite professors at UCLA who created an app called click2shp (shoutout to Dr. Burkhart!). Over time, click2shp stopped being maintained, but I still wanted a quick way to map a single point or to create geospatial point data from Google Sheets. I hope this helps you too!

If the app is asleep, you can wake it up at click2vector.streamlit.app!
