A location map for your listing, sized for the flyer.

Paste nearby places from a spreadsheet

Keep a sheet of schools, stations, parks and shops for each listing. Copying cells from Excel or Google Sheets gives tab-separated text, which is exactly what the place list expects.

1. 1

   Lay out the columns

   For coordinates, use three columns in this order: Name, Longitude, Latitude. Google Maps shows latitude first when you copy a point, so swap the two numbers into the right columns before pasting.

2. 2

   Or use addresses

   Switch the list to Addresses and use two columns: Name and Address. Each lookup handles 25 rows, and each address can be up to 160 characters.

3. 3

   Paste up to 300 rows

   Open Place multiple from the Place tool and paste the cells. Coordinate lists take up to 300 rows at once, which covers a whole neighbourhood guide.

4. 4

   Check and add

   For addresses, choose Look up addresses, review each match, and add the ones you want. Add the list before closing the panel so the places land on the map.

5. 5

   Style the group

   Give nearby places a circle or square with a symbol such as Coffee, Food, Lodging, Parking or Information. Use a larger diamond in a brand colour for the property itself.

One listing, start to finish

A flat on Royal York Crescent in Clifton, Bristol, mapped on an A4 page for a printed flyer and the listing website.

• Page

  A4 portrait, 210 × 297 mm. At 300 DPI the PNG is 2480 × 3508 pixels.

• Property

  One place in dark navy with the Lodging symbol, labelled with the street name.

• Nearby

  Four places in a quieter green: the primary school, the shops on Whiteladies Road, the Suspension Bridge and Brandon Hill park.

• Walking area

  A 15 minute walking area from the property in a pale sand fill, so buyers can see what is close.

• Text and map elements

  The street as the title, "Clifton, Bristol · everything within a 15-minute walk" as the subtitle, the coordinates, a compass and a scale bar.

• Directions and export

  A location QR code in the bottom-right corner that opens the property in Google Maps. PDF goes to the printer and a PNG of the same page goes on the website.

  

Flyer and handout sizes

A4, A5, A6 and US Letter are presets. Everything else is a custom page in millimetres, and the map print size guide covers the pixel maths. Size the page to the map box in your layout, not to the whole flyer, and the map drops in at exactly 100%.

• When the map runs to the trimmed edge of the sheet, add 3 mm on every side for bleed, for example 216 × 303 mm for A4, and let the printer trim it back.
