The Snapchat Map


Last year Snapchat introduced an interactive map to their mobile app. The map allows Snapchat users to share their location with friends and for Snapchat users to discover what other users are posting around the world.

Snap Map is now also available on the desktop. The desktop version of Snap Map provides a heatmap view of Snap Chat activity and allows you to watch Snaps submitted by Snapchatters anywhere in the world. Markers on the map show locations and / or events where a number of videos have recently been shared on Snapchat. If you click on the markers you can watch the latest submitted videos from that location.

If there is no marker on a location you can still click on the map to view the most recent videos submitted near that location. This means that Snap Map is a great way to get a sneak peak into any events happening right now. For example just click around Pyeongchang on Snap Map to view videos of the Winter Olympics.

Snap Map includes an embed view, which allows you to add a version of Snap Map to your own website or blog. The basemap and location data behind Snap Map is powered by Mapbox. It uses a custom designed basemap style which was developed from Mapbox Outdoors.

What is Snap Map?

on the 23rd of June snapchat launched new features within its images and video-sharing app this feature is called snap map in the short snap map.is an opt-in feature that allows anyone in your friend lists to see your location meaning that your privacy if you don’t change your settings becomes a thing of the past here’s what you need to know once updated snapchat gives the user a brief and I mean a brief outline of the snap map and then ask them. if they want to be part of it

if you choose to enable this feature only your friends will be able to see your location Still, your location will remain plotted on a map for up to eight hours or be plotted each time you open the app so what are the risks of enabling this feature snapchat is extremely important. popular with young people young people being users who often don’t closely read up on the latest feature some may have even enabled this feature without realizing in addition
