The long awaited high resolution image generator has finally been released along with our subscription services. Plenty of people have been asking about paying for our service.
Some of the added features include:
- High speed geo-coding, up to 50 addresses per second for datasets larger than 250 entries. We might be able to bump this up to 100. In reality it is more likely to be around 35-40 entries per second. Maps that would take 4 hours (9,000 entries) with the old bulk geo-coder can be done in 4-5 minutes. High speed geo-coding is queue based, so if someone were to attempt 100K items everyone would wait for them. For now there is a limit of 10K items that can be added to a premium map. This should prevent any major delays. Small datasets will also not be “forced” to wait behind any larger jobs.
- Automatic image exporting. This includes radius around a point, pin labels, custom images, and optionally a category legend. Currently this is limited in size to 10800×7200, but our image generator has produced images as large as 14400×10800. We hope to add custom poster size images in the future.
- A small addition is fixed pin numbers. When you have between 1 and 99 locations, you can have a numbered column and use that value.
- “Improved” marker images. We made an attempt to improve the pin images.
All maps created before 9/30/2017 will continue to use the old code base and retain whatever features they had.
A brief history of EasyMapMaker is we started out with a mission to bring affordable maps with rich features to those who did not want to pay high prices for few features. Our goal is to continue to add features as requested by users. Plenty of features have come from user requests, such as radius around a point, custom images, custom logo, and passwords. Most of these features have gone into our subscription bucket.
As always, get mapping.
