Water Point Mapper
This free tool, developed by WaterAid, produces maps showing the status of water supply services in district and sub-district levels in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Mapper has been designed for use by local governments in situations where there is no internet connectivity.
Based on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, it instantly converts water point data into Google Earth compatible maps. Google Earth can be run locally in the field on a machine completely offline. The maps can be saved as images which can be easily shared.
