Github | Marketplace | Linkedin

Open in Map is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows developers to visualize geographical coordinates directly within the editor. By simply selecting latitude and longitude values in your code, you can open a map view in a split editor and see the exact locations marked with pins.

Features 🚀

1. Instant Map Visualization: Select latitude and longitude values, and see them on a map instantly.
2. Multiple pins Adding additional lat/lngs will add to the existing map.
3. Interactive Map: Pan, zoom, and explore the map right within VS Code.
