Hi Everyone. I am  trying to make a map that has all my fosters locations on a single map so I can see where all my fosters are located at once.  The foster program here has grown big so I want to be able to have zones for foster mentors to be in charge of.  Any ideas on a app or something that could work?

Good old, Google Maps will take CSV, XLS or Google Sheet. Here is a tutorial:

If not a Google fan, then opensource https://www.openstreetmap.org is great.

Maptive does a nice job of addresses in spreadsheet to a map but expensive.

Mapbox has a free tier but is more complex to start

This may not be an option for you, but Animal Shelter Manager (ASM) has this built in. All person files have a map location and you can create a report that pulls up a map of all foster caregivers.

This is such a smart idea, being able to see zones at a glance would make organizing mentors so much easier. I hadn't thought of using Google My Maps this way before, but it looks promising. I'm also thinking it could help with planning supply drop-offs or emergency pickups.

Hey Charity! You could give Google My Maps a try. You can create a personalized map with markers, draw lines to define areas, and attach any relevant information to them individually. It's easiest to use on a laptop or desktop, the mobile version gets squirrely sometimes.
