Quick answer

The Map / Geo plugin creates editable SVG maps from geographic datasets. Use it for country outlines, choropleth-style graphics, point maps, and projection-based map artwork inside SVGSketch.

Steps at a glance

  1. Choose the map dataset

    Pick a world, country, or regional dataset.

  2. Configure map styling

    Set projection and visual options for the generated map.

  3. Edit the SVG map

    Refine paths, fills, labels, and overlays in SVGSketch.

Create map artwork without tracing boundaries

The plugin uses geographic datasets to generate country outlines, world maps, and regional map shapes as SVG paths. That saves time when a design needs real boundaries rather than hand-drawn approximations.

Generated maps can be restyled with fills, strokes, labels, and overlays just like other SVGSketch artwork.

Use maps in design and documentation

Map SVGs are useful for reports, infographics, location pages, product documentation, and internal diagrams where geographic context matters.

Because the output remains vector-based, you can crop, recolor, simplify, and export the map at any size without losing clarity.

Included workflows

World maps

Generate global map outlines as editable SVG geometry.

Country outlines

Create country and region shapes for diagrams and infographics.

Natural Earth datasets

Start from established geographic boundary data instead of manual drawing.

Map projections

Choose projection-based layouts that fit the graphic you are making.

FAQ

Does the Map / Geo plugin generate editable map paths?

Yes. The plugin creates SVG map geometry that can be edited, styled, and exported from SVGSketch.

What datasets does it use?

The plugin is built around Natural Earth geographic datasets for common world and country map workflows.

Can I make choropleth-style SVG maps?

Yes. You can use generated regions as editable shapes and style them for choropleth-style graphics.

Open your SVG in SVGSketch

Start with a blank canvas, import an SVG, or use the editor as a conversion and cleanup step.
