Freebase Map Builder - Step by Step guide
Step 1. Search for a
topic
of interest
Search for one instance rather than a type. Examples:
Try 'Denver' rather than 'city'
Try 'Bill Gates' rather than 'person'
Step 2. Select one
topic
to use to build up your mapping query
Step 3. Choose a location subtype by clicking on a flag ${image4type('/location/location')}
If necessary browse the sub-types until you find a location type. The query (and some map labels) are created.
Step 4. Add extra fields to the map
Step 4a. (optional) Try clicking an image ${image4type('/common/image')} to include images in the map info windows
Step 4b. (optional) Show name ${image4type('')} or show text value ${image4type('/type/text')} will include more details in your map info windows
Tip: You can rename a field by clicking on its name
Tip: You can make the field compulsory with the checkbox
Step 5. Click "Mapit!" to view the data in Google Maps.
(If you like the map, you can link directly to its very long URL)
