Getting started
What is GeoAddIn?
GeoAddIn is a PowerPoint add-in that lets you insert professional territory maps — countries, regions, cities, airports — directly into your slides without leaving PowerPoint. No Geographic Information System (GIS) software, no manual drawing.
Is GeoAddIn free?
Yes, during the beta period. You get full access to all features at no cost until June 1, 2026. We will notify you before the beta ends and share pricing for the full release.
Which version of PowerPoint do I need?
GeoAddIn works with PowerPoint 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, and Microsoft 365 (desktop edition on Windows). The web version of PowerPoint (PowerPoint Online) is not supported.
Does it work on Mac?
Not yet. GeoAddIn currently requires Windows. Mac support is on our roadmap for a future release.
How do I get the installer?
Go to the Download page, enter your email address, and we will send you a personal download link instantly.
Installation
PowerPoint shows a security warning about an unknown publisher. Is that normal?
Yes, this is expected during the beta. GeoAddIn has not yet completed Microsoft's code-signing process. Click Trust all documents from this publisher (or Enable) to allow the add-in to run. See the Installation Guide for details.
The installer asks me to install .NET Framework 4.8. Should I accept?
Yes. .NET Framework 4.8 is a free Microsoft component required by GeoAddIn. If your system does not already have it, the setup wizard will install it for you. Your computer may need to restart before the installation continues.
I don't see a GeoAddIn tab in the ribbon after installation.
Go to File → Options → Add-ins, set Manage to COM Add-ins, and click Go…. Make sure GeoAddIn is checked. If it does not appear in the list, re-run setup.exe from the extracted folder.
Can I install GeoAddIn on more than one computer?
Yes. Your download link can be used to install GeoAddIn on multiple machines. Simply download and run setup.exe on each computer.
Using GeoAddIn
Which countries and regions are covered?
GeoAddIn includes map data for 40+ European countries, including country-level outlines and sub-national regions (states, provinces, cantons, etc.). Coverage will expand in future releases.
Can I plot cities and airports on my maps?
Yes. GeoAddIn includes a built-in database of cities and airports. You can add them as point markers on top of any territory map.
Can I save a map and reuse it in a different presentation?
Yes. Use the save function in the GeoAddIn task pane to export your map configuration to a file. You can then reload it in any PowerPoint presentation to recreate the map instantly.
Can I customise the colours and styles of the maps?
Basic colour customisation is available in the current beta. More advanced styling options are planned for future releases.
Where can I find tutorials?
Visit the Video Tutorials page for step-by-step walkthroughs covering the most common use cases.
Beta programme
When does the beta expire?
The current beta version expires on June 1, 2026. You will receive an email before that date with information about the next version.
What happens when the beta expires?
The add-in will stop working after the expiry date. We will notify you in advance and provide options to continue using GeoAddIn.
How do I report a bug or give feedback?
Use the Feedback page to report bugs or share suggestions. Your input directly shapes the development of GeoAddIn.
Will my beta data and maps be preserved in the full release?
Map files saved during the beta use our standard format and will be compatible with future versions.
