Public input you can design from
Residents drop pins, draw routes, and mark areas on your site plan. You get spatial data with the analysis already done, instead of comments to sort by hand.
Trusted by landscape architecture and planning firms across the U.S.
From your site plan to a shapefile, in one tool
The spatial structure created when you collect is what makes the analysis possible. That’s the part you can’t rebuild later in a spreadsheet.
Start from your own site plan or a blank canvas
Start with a basemap of your study area, or set a rendering, illustrative plan, or campus map as the background. Restrict responses to the parcel, and set follow-up questions that fire when someone marks a spot.
Residents mark places, draw routes and areas
Points, lines, and polygons — plus geobudgeting when the project needs real tradeoffs.
Linked map and charts — not a spreadsheet export
Heatmaps across point-data questions. Tag and filter map responses. Cut the data by any response condition — income, disability status, household type. Save the view and come back to it.
Into your drawing set and your client deck
Take the responses into GIS and Illustrator, the way your team already makes maps. Shapefile, GeoJSON, and Excel with coordinates come out of one export, so nobody retypes a thing. Charts and maps save as PNG for the client deck.
Try the analysis step yourself
The map and the charts stay linked — filter one and the other follows. No signup, no download.

Any phone browser, multiple languages, WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA and ADA compliant.
Your data stays in the US
AWS hosting with a separate US region for US clients. Consent and privacy management come built in.
Move the sticky notes online
The table stays. Set the same map on an iPad at the open house and let people mark it where they're standing, then put it on the screen behind you so the room watches it fill in. Those marks land in the same dataset as the ones from everyone who couldn't come. Nothing waits on a pile of post-its to be typed up on Monday.
You can’t retrofit a location onto a text answer. Once a resident types “the playground needs shade” into a box, the spot they meant is gone, and no cleanup puts it back. Maptionnaire records where each response was made, so the map and the analysis have something to work from.
This is the most collaborative tool that we could integrate in our design work…. A platform like Maptionnaire allows us to gather tons of data points together and see them at-a-glance.
