Awesome @jackgonzales - been looking to use MapJam for some tourist guides. Can one render to a high-res pdf for print?
Jack Gonzalez
@_adeel @jackgonzales Hi Adeel. Yes you can print to pdf by creating a map with our UI (from mapjam.com) and then appending the url of your map with .pdf or .jpg or .png e.g., is an image snapshot of http://mapjam.com/500startups . There is also a sizing widget for bigger or smaller images on Embed > Image > Advanced from a map's left toolbar. You'll find in general that the images will be sharper than the .pdf option.

Love the pink and blue map, but have tried to do coloring on some other maps. How do I do that with MapJam?
Jack Gonzalez
@scottyli Hey Scott... Head over to http://mapjam.com/developer where we have our "Hello World" examples. You'll see it only takes a couple of lines of JavaScript to paint it any color you want.

Is MapJam a lot less than google maps?
Jack Gonzalez
@vuknikolic Hello, We’ve spoken with many large sites/apps and we will save them 50-80% over Google Maps! - We don't have tiered plans, confusing credit schemes, MAU limits, or annual commitments. Use our maps with free, commercial, private, behind paywall, or asset tracking applications without any concern.

Awesome product! I recently used Mapme.com to build a map for a month long vacation in Indonesia I have planned. It's a good product, but the UI is laggy and tough to use. MapJam has a much faster UI and is much easier to use. While each product (seems) to do nearly the same exact thing, the performance of the Mapjam UI is significantly better. Great work.
Jack Gonzalez
@theericanderson Thanks! We're looking to improve the UI even more! By the way we use Keen IO and love your product too!
Eric Anderson
@jackgonzalez Ah, awesome to hear! Please get in touch if I can help your team out at all. :) Thanks for the kind words.

Excellent documentation on the API, simple auth token enrollment.. love the "get auth token" button :) One question, is there a way to import existing maps via a .kml file to make porting easy? #GreatWork 🔥🔥🔥
Jack Gonzalez
@jaronrayhinds Thank you! :-) There are probably some JavaScript code examples if you google around and look at the many excellent leaflet plugins, we'll do the same and work to include something like this in our library, in the meantime if you come across something that we could use, please let us know so we can share an example with others. Thank you! :-) #crowdsourcedev

MapJam is awesome
Hunter Block
Hi. Planning to develop a mapping application for analytics but it will be closed for our customers only. Google wants to charge us for a plan since it's not open to the public. Is MapJam free in this scenario until we have substantial usage?
Jack Gonzalez
@hunterblock That's right. We don't have premium plans and you can build maps for any app you want, internal or external. Happy mapping!
Jarie Bolander
Love MapJam. Not only is it easy to use, the maps a beautiful.
Aditya Singhal
Love mapjam already. Great product. easy to use.
Andrea Barrica
Interesting. How is this different than MapBox?
Jack Gonzalez
@abarrica We're much more open and customizable and are finding through initial discussions that we can be 1/2 to 1/3rd the cost of MapBox and Google.
