Scribble Maps Pro and Versions

We thought we would write a blog post explaining some issues that our VIP users are having. As you may be aware we have upgrade the basic version of Scribble Maps to 2.0 which utilizes HTML5/Javascript. Additionally our new tech allows for the generation of large images up to 1500x1500 pixels (we are going to also be offering even large images and pdf formats in the future as well). Currently Pro is still version 1.0 (Flash). Originally we wanted to wait for both free and pro to be upgraded for the release of 2.0 but we decided against it for two primary reasons. We were getting a large demand for Scribble Maps on mobile By offering the new version on free we could beta test before finally upgrading pro to 2.0 This has lead to some confusion since maps created in the free version which is 2.0 can't be opened in pro, and also the basic version has the ability to save larger images than Pro which is restricted to screen resolution.

How to Add Custom Markers to a Map

In the our previous version we had the ability to add a custom marker to Scribble Maps. We have now brought this same functionality to 2.0 and improved it. Step 1 : Select the marker tool and then click "add your own" (click image to enlarge) Step 2 : Copy and paste the URL of the marker into the text field. You can host markers on free services such as http://www.imgur.com . You can also now select the anchor point and this is particularly useful for things like paddles where you want the tip of the paddle to be anchored to a point as you zoom in and out. Step 3 : Finally click the Add To Map button then click where you want to place the marker. You can also adjust the rotation of the marker by using the control in the bottom right. Rotation is particularly useful for things like vehicles.
