GeoJSON Markers with Name & Description

Put markers on a map and attach labels, descriptions, colours and any custom properties — then export the result as GeoJSON, KML (Google Earth / My Maps) or Shapefile.

Markers with properties

Plain coordinates only say where something is. A GeoJSON Feature adds a properties object that says what it is — a name, a description, a category, an ID from your database.

{
  "type": "Feature",
  "geometry": { "type": "Point", "coordinates": [2.2945, 48.8584] },
  "properties": {
    "name": "Eiffel Tower",
    "description": "Sample marker",
    "marker-color": "#dc2626"
  }
}

The colour is stored with the widely used simplestyle keys (marker-color for points, stroke and fill for lines and shapes), which geojson.io, GitHub's map preview and many other tools understand. When you export to KML, names and descriptions become Placemark names and descriptions, colours become KML styles and all other properties go into ExtendedData — so the markers look right in Google Earth and Google My Maps.
