If you’re playing role-playing games online and want to share a map, you can use fancy mapping software, or you can just use a shared whiteboard, or you can use Gridmapper.
Here’s how it works:
1. everybody starts Gridmapper
2. the mapper puts the name of the map in the text area and clicks on *Save*
3. the mapper then clicks on *enable auto save*
4. everybody else clicks on *Load* and picks the name provided by the mapper
5. the map loads and everybody except for the mapper clicks on *enable auto load*
Now, the mapper keeps drawing the map and it will be saved every twenty seconds. Everybody else is reloading the map every twenty seconds. It’s not perfect but it should work.
If you use the feature, let me know and we can tune the time window.
Note: all the maps saved are saved to the Gridmapper Wiki. *These maps are public.*
