Route Optimization Comes to Scribble Maps

Route optimization also known as the travelling sales person problem (TSP) is a type of routing to figure out which order you should visit locations in the fastest time possible. As you can imagine this is very useful if you need to drop off packages, do movie location scouting, make sales calls to a physical location, or need to do routine inspections. Well we are happy to announce that this functionality has now come to Scribble Maps. For demonstration purpose we have selected a bunch of different cafes in the Toronto region. Let's pretend that in the course of a day or multiple days you want to visit all of them. Here is a picture of the original points. Unoptimized Points From here we going to go to our Operations & Analysis panel and select Create > Optimized Route. Next you will want to select your start location, end location, and the way points folder that contains the points in your route. After clicking "Create Optimized Route" your

Developers: Saving Google API Credits with Autocomplete

By
There are a lot of winners with Google's new API pricing. However, if your app is using the whole suite of mapping functionality and you have a lot of users you might find your pool will start declining fast. Two functions that will draw directly on your pool and are not subject to the daily free quota is autocomplete and place search. If you use your Google licence with the Scribble Maps API we do some of these optimizations out of the box, but if you are building your own custom implementation directly on top of the Google Maps API, there is a simple update you can do to save you some autocomplete credits. The standard auto-complete functionality will send out an auto-complete request with every change in the input. It's possible to cut the amount of credits used significantly by putting in a timeout when the input changes. Here is a very basic example. var acTimeOut; textSearchInput.onkeyup = function() { clearTimeout(acTimeout); acTimeout = setTimeout(func

Travel Time Maps can be used for Everyday Planning  Few things get us as excited as the thought of time travel. Where would you go, and who would you meet if you had the ability to go back in time? What if you had the ability to plan exactly where you could go based on how far you wanted to walk - today? No need to put on your mad scientist lab coat for that: you can visualize, plan and share your Travel Time Map to your blog or with friends using the Scribble Maps Pro Isochrone Tool. Let's go over what an isochrone is, and how we can use them today to discover new things in our neighbourhoods and beyond. What is an Isochrone?  An isochrone is a line on a diagram or map connecting points relating to the same time or equal times. Objects on a map that are connected within an isochrone line happen at the same time. These lines show a 10 minute walking distance from the central blue marker. The image above shows a series of blue lines coming from a centra blue marker
