New Overhauled Search!

By
We are very excited about our new search and we think you will love the utility of the new features we have added.

Auto-Complete + POI + Location
Our previous search only supported street addresses but our new search now has auto-complete, POI searching, and address searching. This search is available not only on editor but on all widgets as well starting today.


Nearby Search
The largest addition to the search function is the ability to search for POIs. Clicking on a location on the left will take you to the nearby search function where you can see places in the vicinity of your selected location or marker.


You can change markers of categories and add places one by one or all at the same time.

Tutorial and Real Estate Maps
We think this functionality is useful in a lot of different areas but think it is particularly useful in real estate. We have created a tutorial video covering this new search functionality that uses a real estate example.

Unoptimized Points From here we going to go to our Operations & Analysis panel and select Create > Optimized Route.

We have a rolled out a large feature for our VIP users and think it is worth writing a post about! Introducing Base Layers Module Looking in the bottom window you can see we have added a new panel (you can collapse/expand it with the arrow). This new area allows you to not only crop the map but also add both TMS and WMS layer types. We are planning to add more as well! Map Cropping Map cropping allows you to take any polygon or multiple polygons and crop out the rest of the map. In the above image we have made a map crop of the state of Nebraska. In this example we have the crop out color set to  black with a slight transparency but you can set the color to anything you want and also make the cropped out areas not visible at all. To get this effect with the state we used the "Region Highlight" tool to create a polygon for Nebraska and then applied the crop using it. How to add a map crop There is two ways to add a crop. The first is to click the + butto
