Sometimes a map needs a conversation; sometimes a conversation needs a map. Either way, maps and chats just make sense.
Now, you can make a map the easy way, right in Slack.
The quick-map slash command uses Mapbox Static Images and Geocoding APIs to convert an address or pair of coordinates into a simple map.
By installing or using quick-map, you agree to the Privacy Policy. You should also know that presently this app is free (yay!), but at some point, we may have to charge a nominal fee because the services we are using are not free. For now, go map!
This is how it works. Create a map from an address or place name:
/quick-map Taj Mahal
Create a map from coordinates:
/quick-map 2.294531,48.858081
You have the option to refine the location, zoom level, and map type in the quick-map dialog:
When you’re satisfied with your map, click ‘Send to Channel’ to post the map to your Slack channel, and start the conversation!
