Before you start
A few things you might be wondering.
What is a dictionary in PlaceDict?
It is a collection of places on a map, organized around a theme you choose. Each place can have a name, address, description, photos, and a custom pin image.
Do I need an account to use it?
You can browse public dictionaries without signing in. To create your own dictionaries and manage drafts, sign in with a Google account.
Is my map public as soon as I create it?
No. Your draft is private until you publish it. Publishing creates a public version that others can view. You can also unpublish a dictionary to make all of its public versions private.
Can I add somewhere that does not appear in search?
Yes. Click the map to choose a location, then add its name and details. This also works for places such as a meeting point or a field observation with no street address.
What happens when I edit a published dictionary?
Your edits stay in the private draft until you publish again. The new version becomes the latest map, and earlier published versions remain available through their own links while the dictionary is public.
Your map starts with one place
Give your places a place to belong.
