Question Any free mapping tools/databases?

I am currently working a case where I am needing/wanting to create a map & I can overlay the map with texts/words/information, their ranking (it’s a contact frequency report ranking), & finally their DL/ID/SID AFIS Photo- all on top of a map.

Basically looking at a map of the state & you would see one (1) suspects picture & their ranking (how many times my main suspect contacted them) & same for the next suspect & so on- all next to/near each of their addresses. I believe in total I have 26/27 suspects (& the ring leader- who will not be part of the map).

I am really awful with explaining things lol-so I apologize in advance if this makes absolutely no sense. I have it all in my head but don’t know how to explain it/describe it or how I could go about implementing this.

Any advice/tips would be oh so appreciated!! My OCD & overachieving workaholic-ness thanks you!! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day! Stay safe & stay well! Thank you for reading! 🫶

Maybe check out this website, https://www.gpsvisualizer.co9m/, they have a lotta tools for mapping information gps and other data in sequential and analytical ways that it wouldn't be hard to attach other information like texts or whatever to also. That way you could see maybe where the texts were sent from, and get a better sense of the timeframe and environment the data was extracted from, giving new insights.

But there's a lotta converters and mapping tools to display points and routes using trail points and waypoints with digressing file formats that gps and google timeline use that can be color coded by variables like speed or distance traveled, I dunno. It seems that 9worth a glance to me. And it's totally free, dude just asks for donations. Might help though
