World map with pins for attendee names in their country or city location

We used to use https://www.mapcustomizer.com/ to make an interactive map with a pin for each attendee who opted in to add themself. (Example:

https://www.mapcustomizer.com/map/Protospiel%20Online%20January%202025%20World%20Map)

It has been a nice way to let people see which fellow attendees are in their local area or at least in their approximate time zone.

Map Customizer has discontinued support for new map creation. We haven’t had any luck finding an inexpensive replacement that allows us to easily upload pin data in a big batch. (Bonus points if the upload could use the same syntax of CITY STATE/PROVENCE COUNTRY {PIN LABEL 1}, CITY STATE/PROVENCE COUNTRY {PIN LABEL 2}, etc. with both city and state/province as optional info.)

I’ve still been able to load data into Map Customizer and take a screen shot to show the spread of our attendance, but I can no longer share a link people can visit to hover over, see names, and identify others local to them.

This could be a fun and helpful addition to HeySummit’s upcoming attendee directory feature.
