Search Locations & Insert Maps in PowerPoint & Word with OfficeMaps

It’s one thing to write an address or list directions, and it’s another thing to show your audience a map with your exact address. When it comes to presentations, sometimes, you really shouldn’t leave things to your audience’s imagination–and this can mean the difference between a winning presentation and a flop. So, when it comes to locations, it’s better to give them a clear picture–using an actual map. And with this, OfficeMaps is a must. This add-in allows you to search locations and insert maps in PowerPoint and Word.

Search Locations in Your Presentations with Ease

OfficeMaps is a nifty Office add-in that is specially made for allowing you to easily search for any location in the world. Then, these locations can be easily inserted directly into your PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. With OfficeMaps, you can easily insert a map of any area or location in the world. You can accurately display your presentations and documents just where a place is, and the surrounding areas or landmarks. You can display directions, streets, and roads clearly. Then, you can insert these into your Word document or PowerPoint presentation without losing any data or compromising the clarity and accuracy of your map.

It’s also up to you whether you want to zoom in close to the exact location or if you want to zoom out to give your audience a perspective of where the place is. Best of all, you don’t have to download another app or subscribe to a service to another website. All you have to do is add this add-in for Word and PowerPoint.
