A Good Ship tool
Ask people about the places that matter to them.
Map my Patch brings questions and maps together. Create a map, invite people to mark places or areas, and explore what they tell you.
Questions become easier to understand when they have a place.
Use points, areas and simple questions to gather a richer picture of a neighbourhood, service, building or community.
Ask a useful question
Build a short set of questions about participants and the places you want them to mark.
Invite people in
Share one link or code. People can take part without creating an account.
See the picture build
Explore responses on a map and export the underlying data when you need to go further.

Where it came from
Map my Patch was originally created by Tom Watson through Data for Action, drawing on work around neighbourhoods, participation and question-led data. It is now maintained and developed by The Good Ship.
