I have a question about mapping tools that can help with local activism/organizing/campaigns.

I am currently using Google Maps to plot individuals at various addresses. (Easy to import data to the map, I can share this with others, etc.)

But there is a problem. If there are multiple individuals with the same address, Google Maps only puts one pin at a given address...and no additional symbology/color to show you that more than one pin is plotted...even if you hover over it or click on it...only the top pin is shown.

What other mapping tools (that I can easily share with others) can properly display multiple pins at a given address?

(This question also opens the door to other features...can field operatives make updates in real time and share to a central data source/server?...and more and more.)

As always, for grass-roots stuff...free is best, lowest cost is next best.

Feel free to boost.

Thanks in advance!

Global Fishing Watch is now using infrared data from NOAA's VIIRS satellite to locate fishing boats on the high seas that have their Automated Identification System transponders turned off (presumably because they are fishing illegally). The system is sensitive enough to distinguish between North Korean and Chinese squid fishers, which use different lights.
