Connect PostgreSQL

Plot data straight from your PostgreSQL database — connect once and GeoMaps keeps the map current.

1. Open Data Sources

In GeoMaps, open the menu in the top-right corner of the map and choose Data Sources. Add a new source and select PostgreSQL to open its connection form.

2. Connect PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL connects with a standard connection string and credentials.

• Enter your Connection URL (e.g. postgresql://host:5432/dbname).
• Enter the database username and password.
• Make sure your database accepts connections from GeoMaps — allow our IP range, or point us at a read replica.

We recommend a read-only user; GeoMaps never writes to your database.

3. Choose a table

Pick the table or view to map and confirm the location column (a full address, or latitude/longitude). GeoMaps geocodes the rows and refreshes them on a schedule.
