Make it richer
Add stable ids, source URLs, status, dates, categories, and units so the layer can become more than dots.
Prepare dataDataset Builder / Lite Map
Test your dataset on the map.
Paste a small table with coordinates, inspect the points, and see the starter contract DaedalMap would use to turn it into a reusable map layer. This preview is intentionally lightweight: no full app boot, no catalog load, and no heavy live layers.
Lite Map Preview
Client-only dark tile preview. Same visual direction as Explore, without loading the app runtime.
Drag to move. Scroll to zoom. Click a point for details.
Paste rows and preview the dataset.

Input
Upload or paste CSV. The map updates automatically; then resolve the first 25 points into loc_ids.
Schema Preview
Watch fields, loc_id resolution, popup choices, rows, and metadata update as the dataset changes.

Unified, Not Heavy
A small preview surface over the same data vocabulary.
The builder is isolated from the full Explore runtime so it can load fast,
but it does not invent a new data model. Successful previews are shaped as
anchored entities with a point_collection display contract,
the same family used by durable point datasets in DaedalMap.
Connect it to places
The next step is resolving rows to the maintained geography graph without making users learn every code system.

When the tiny preview proves the idea, move into Explore for maintained packs, questions, and real map controls.
