Annotations allow you to highlight important features, add context, and create a more engaging map experience. Unlike data elements, annotations are designed to enhance your storytelling and guide viewers through your map's key points.
Create free-form markings like arrows to highlight areas of interest.
Add semi-transparent markings that allow the basemap to show through, perfect for subtle emphasis while maintaining visibility of underlying features.
Add labels and descriptions directly on your map. Adjust font style, size, color, and position to create clear, readable annotations.
Create text boxes to explain features or provide additional context. Notes are ideal for adding detailed information that wouldn't fit in a simple label.
Embed URLs like websites directly on your map either by selecting the link tool and entering the URL or by pasting the URL directly on your map. Links display with preview thumbnails by default.
Embed videos directly on your map, with preview thumbnails either by selecting the video tool and entering the URL or by pasting the URL directly on your map. YouTube links will display with full video previews.
Felt offers several annotation tools to help you communicate your spatial narrative. To access the annotation tools, click on the in the top toolbar. Annotations can be easily duplicated (Cmd/Ctrl+D), repositioned, rotated and styled.
