Premium Big Data Plan (closed)

There has been a lot of confusion with the premium big data plan, so this has been removed from new subscriptions.   This is still available for those who are already subscribed to it.  It supports up to 100K locations, but the latitude and longitude are required.  There was a lot of confusion about this plan since people would subscribe to it hoping to map 30K+ addresses without the latitude and longitude.  This takes too much time using the 50 address/second geo-coder.  A request has been put in with Google to increase this speed.

We are very sorry for the confusion this has created.  The premium plan with up to 15K locations per map is available.

Export distance from a location

The distance from any point to the other locations can now be exported.   Use the nearby filter and export options (see https://www.easymapmaker.com/support/how-can-i-export-data-to-excel-within-a-radius/).  Also enable the show distance option when filtering by radius.  A column will be added to the exported excel file and will have a header value of something similar to:  “distance from 1415 E ILLINOIS Dallas, TX 75212 in miles”

The circle radius now appears in the generated image or pdf file when downloading the pdf or image of the map.

Finally, the newest version of the google maps api is being used (3.30).  Google updates this a few times per year.  No major changes should be noticed, but a fix was made to allow embedded maps to work better on mobile and tablet devices.  Legacy/free maps created before October, 2017 are deprecated, so changes Google makes to the api will flow through without 100% backward compatibility.  These deprecated free maps will most likely be migrated to the new system on October 2018 (along with the limitations).

As always, get mapping!
