Ask people questions on a map, then read the answers back as maps and charts.
PPlanner is a survey tool with one extra idea: some questions are answered by dropping a pin, drawing an area or tracing a route rather than by typing. You build the survey, share a link or QR code, and the answers come back as real locations you can map, chart and analyse.
Accounts are created by your instructor — sign in with the email and password you were given. You do not need an account to answer someone else's survey.
The four kinds of map question
Pick one to see how it behaves. Everything on this map is made-up sample data, not real responses.

What you get
Everything below is part of the app — no add-ons, no upgrades.
Map questions
Alongside normal text and multiple-choice questions, you can ask people to answer on a map. The answer is a location, not a description of one.
A link and a QR code
Publishing a survey gives it a public link and a printable QR code. Whoever answers does not need an account.
Charts for your write-up
Build bar, pie and line charts from the answers, adjust the colours and filters, and take them straight into your report.
Spatial and statistical analysis
Look for clusters and hotspots in where people answered, view response density, and run statistical tests on the results.
An assistant while you work
Ask the built-in assistant to draft questions, tidy up wording, or talk through what your results appear to show.
Kiosk mode
Put a survey on a tablet in kiosk mode and hand it to people in the field — it resets itself after each submission.
How it works
- 1
Build
Write your questions. Add map questions wherever a location is the real answer.
- 2
Publish
Publishing switches the survey from Draft to Live and makes its public link work.
- 3
Share
Send the link, or print the QR code and take it with you.
- 4
Collect
Answers appear as people submit them. Nothing is lost if someone closes the page halfway.
- 5
Analyse
Turn the answers into charts, and run map and statistical analysis on them.
