How To Create A Crime Map Using SpotCrime's Crimelist System

For anyone looking to create a crime map with a few specific crime events on SpotCrime, you can use our Crimelist System to generate a url for only those crimes you want to show.

Here's an example:

http://spotcrime.com/crimelist/13407744,13457161,13457142,13486131,13485485,13529022

Notice the 8 digit numbers separated by commas.

Each crime in SpotCrime has a eight digit number in the url.  For this crime:

http://spotcrime.com/crime/22599014-07b31af832243a16f246f05f92f86839

The identifier is 22599014.

And for this crime:

http://spotcrime.com/crime/22586072-903886ff6c2b9991925df686aa3c3724

The identifier is 22586072

To combine these two crimes, just add them to the url http://spotcrime.com/crimelist/

Here's the result:

http://spotcrime.com/crimelist/22599014, 22586072
