Capture your world StoryMaps Express allows you to creatively combine your copy, images and videos – and make interactive maps – all in one place. You can express yourself with custom designs that evoke emotion and even add ambiance with audio. And stories are easy to make, update and share, so you can continue to add to them anywhere, anytime. For some inspiration, here are a few examples.
Share your knowledge As a Canadian Geographic email subscriber, you are invited to get free early access to StoryMaps Express. Since it is not yet available to the general public, it’s a great time to create stories and give feedback directly to the StoryMaps team. That way, they can refine the product to be something you enjoy using and you can see others using, too.
Join the journey We can’t wait to see what you create with StoryMaps Express and learn how we can improve the product for you. If you join the beta program before February 10, 2022, you will be invited to an exclusive Q&A session with experts and learn how to make stories easily.
