Add Places to Your Map by Highlighting Information on the Page

If you haven't made the Proxi Map that you plan to add points to yet, navigate to Proxi.Co and generate it. We have a walkthrough of how to get started with Proxi here --> https://scribehow.com/shared/Making_Your_First_Proxi_Map__Saqxyjd-SGynMb7CAWrboQ

Start Your Search! In this example, we're looking for Hikes in Seattle to add to a Proxi Map. After doing some googling, we found this page.

Once you've found some information that you want to add to your Proxi Map, Highlight the text, right click, and select "Add to Proxi Map"

A Proxi pop-up will appear on the top right side of your screen.


Search for and select which map that you want to add your new point to.

If you would like to add a new category, click the "Creator Portal" link under the category options. There, you can add and edit categories as you wish. When you refresh the original page, the new categories will appear. 

Search for and/or confirm the appropriate place. In some cases, the Proxi extension will auto-identify an address and pre-fill this field. 

Proxi will copy all of the text into the point description field. You can edit the Point Name, the URL and Point Description as you wish. The source field is locked so you can easily return to this blog or website (where you found the information) at a later date. 

When you're ready, click "Add to Map"! 

Repeat as many times as you wish. When you add your second point, the extension will assume you are adding to the same map as before. If you would like to change maps, you can click the "change" link next to the map name at the top of the pop-up. 

Using Proxi's Auto-Address Detector to Add Points

In some cases, Proxi will auto-detect an address on the screen, but a border around the content, and then put a clickable button on the top right side. 

When you see this, you can click the button to reveal the add-point pop-up.

Canon is one of the most respected cocktail bars in all of Seattle. Distinguished by its bottle-lined walls and retro ambiance reminiscent of the Roaring 1920s, Canon provides spirit enthusiasts with over 3,500 labels to choose from, including rare and vintage finds. Whiskey drinker? Here, you’ll find a star-studded selection, along with chilled green Chartreuse on tap. Plus, the cocktail list is lengthy, from innovative spins on the classics (think ‘pimmp’s cup’ with strawberry and grappa) to barrel-aged, house-carbonated, and punch bowl-style cocktails meant for sharing.

You can copy and paste relevant content into the Title, URL, and Description, if you wish. Once you click "Add to Map" it will be posted to your map. 

Tip! You can even search for places in Google and add them to the map using the auto-detector. If you click 'More Places' you'll see even more places to pin for later on your Proxi Map.
