Select / Measure

  • New – Circle selection option which allows you to change the radius of the circle.
  • If you use Selection or Measure tools the radius (for circle) and area (polygons) will be displayed in both km and miles.
  • Fixed issue where IE9 crashes when using Measure tools - moved to OpenLayers 2.11.

Map / Layers / Legend

  • Cursor coordinates are now displayed with a white background on the map for increased visibility.
  • The width of the Copyright statement is now limited to prevent it overlapping the scale bar.
  • Reduced time taken to load when using Roles.
  • Fixed the bug when an unavailable or missing base map was preventing the load of the map. Will now try loading from the first one in the list in the Map Source. If nothing loads a message will be displayed.
  • New Reset Layers button to reset the map back to the default set in the Map Source.
  • You can now remove all overlay layers from the map. Previously you had to leave at least one selected.
  • The Legend can be automatically generated from .map file if no icon is specified in Studio. See Using Dynamic Legends.

Information Browser

  • The Information Browser now uses Display Names for field headings, if they exist.
  • Fixed the problem when exporting to MS Excel.

Print to PDF

  • Maps printed to PDF can now have an image containing the legend of currently visible map layers.  This can be positioned using CSS (defaults to bottom right). Default templates now contain the new legend but this can be removed if required.
  • Scale is no longer limited to a maximum of 250,000:1.
  • The PDF filename generated from the title now replaces invalid characters with underscores.
