Sharing & Exporting

After arranging and rotating your countries, you can share the exact configuration or export the transformed geometry.

URL Sharing (Compressed Deep Link)

Your current state (camera, selected items, positions, rotations, colors, options) is compressed into the URL hash. Just copy the browser URL—no account needed.

How to Share

1. Select and position countries (rotate if desired)
2. Copy the full URL (hash includes compressed state)
3. Paste into email, chat, social media, or embed it
4. Anyone opening it restores the identical map/globe configuration

Notes & Limits:

• When you import custom data from a GeoJSON or TopoJSON file, the Share button will be disabled.
• If you add too many countries and the maximum URL length is reached, the Share button will also be disabled. You can typically share maps with 30–50 countries, but if you hit the limit, try removing some regions.

Export GeoJSON

Export applies all transformations (translation + rotation) to geometry before packaging.

Use cases:

• Classroom or research visuals
• Import into GIS / data viz tools
• Archive a comparison snapshot offline

Import Custom Data

Add your own polygons for specialist analysis, then reposition relative to built‑in shapes. Custom layers are included in export (subject to limits).
