Shared yard-sign map with photos, notes, and markup

Yard signs are a logistics problem: requests come in from supporters, signs go out in batches, some get moved or stolen, and the team needs to know what is standing where, and what each spot looks like.

Tracking that in a spreadsheet meant nobody could see the map, nobody could see the yard, and every planning conversation started from scratch.

• A shared satellite map where the team places and moves signs by type and status (pending, ready, installed, at risk, needs repair, removed), with a live count for each layer.
• Tap a sign to see its photo, its notes, and who placed it. Volunteers add the photo and note from their phone right when they put the sign in the ground.
• Markup tools for planning: draw routes and areas (with acreage), drop text labels, and measure distances, with a live readout as you draw. They work on a phone, too.
• Everyone sees who is online and a running feed of every sign added or moved. When it is delivery day, a companion route tool puts each driver's stops in order with one click.

Photos load only when someone opens a sign, so the map stays fast on a phone even with a photo on every placement.

Generic mapping apps don't know what a yard sign is. This one tracks the campaign's own sign types and statuses, keeps a photo and notes on every placement, lets the team mark up the map to plan, and runs on a simple Google Sheet. No per-seat fees, no workarounds, and nothing the team had to learn that they didn't need.
