How to use custom fields and CTAs in your interactive map

Updated August 1st, 2024
You can create an interactive map for different scenarios. Custom fields allow you to customize map to whatever use case or scenario you have. Think of it like creating different map apps!
Here are some examples we like:
Real estate listings - Add a custom field for how much the listing costs
Events map - Add a custom field for the date, time.
Business directories - Add a custom button to link to each website, or to make a reservation
Store Locator - Add a custom field for the business type
Wedding map - Add a custom field
Collaborative map - Add who it was added by, and specific the description
Restaurant map - Specify the price

If you’re using a CSV, or Sheets import, here’s how to make sure your columns from your spreadsheet will be mapped to your map. In the import modal, you’ll see a list of all your fields in PamPam. In the dropdown you’ll see your spreadsheet columns. Make sure you match your spreadsheet column to the PamPam fields to have them update correctly.
