CATEGORY COLORS AND FILTERING
Through the 'Category colors and filtering' feature, users can categorize objects, assign
distinct colors to data categories, simplifying visual differentiation. With this feature, users
can easily customize and optimize the map view by highlighting crucial data points andfiltering them for analysis.
How to enable and use the feature:
1. Click on the category name to filter your objects.

4CATEGORY COLORS AND FILTERING
2.To change the color of your category, click on it and select the desired color.

5SATELLITE VIEW
This feature allows users to switch to a satellite view of the map, which displays satellite
imagery of the selected location.
How to enable the feature:
In the lower left corner, click on the “Satellite” box.

The map view will automatically switch to satellite view, and you can adjust the zoom
level or other options as needed.

6

HISTORY STEP BACKWith the 'History Step Back' function, users can effortlessly revert changes and navigate
back one step in their map history, facilitating comparisons and analysis of various datapoints.
How to enable the feature:
1. Click the "Back" button in the upper part of the map to go back to one step in the map
history. The Map will update to display the previous map view and data points.

7

CIRCLE AND POLYGON FILTERING
This feature allows users to filter data by selecting a circular or polygonal area on themap, enabling more targeted analysis and visualization of specific regions.
How to enable the feature:
1. In the upper part of the map, select either "Circle" or "Polygon."

2. For a Circle filter, click and drag on the map to define the center point and radius of thecircle. For a Polygon filter, click on multiple points on the map to define the shape of thepolygon. Once you've defined the filter shape, click the cogwheel and choose 'Applyfilter'.

8CIRCLE AND POLYGON FILTERING
3. The map will update to display only the data points that fall within the selected circle or
polygon.

4. After applying the Circle or Polygon filter, you can obtain a more focused view of yourdata within the selected region. This allows for in-depth analysis of specific areas and theidentification of trends or patterns that might be otherwise challenging to discern. You canalso remove the filter by clicking the "Clear" button at the upper part of the map.
5. If you select polygons that totally contain more than 10,000 objects, all polygons,
except the last one, will be automatically unapplied.

9CIRCLE AND POLYGON FILTERING

10CIRCLE AND POLYGON FILTERING
6. If you select a polygon containing more than 10,000 objects, a request will be sent tocount the objects within a square defined by maximum and minimum latitude andlongitude. The count result may be approximate. For precise counting, choose a smaller
polygon with fewer than 10,000 objects or click 'Drill down' (Note: Loading may be slow
after clicking the 'Drill Down' button).

11AUTO ZOOMThis feature enables the map to automatically zoom in or out to display all data points orselected data points within the map viewport, providing a more focused view of the data.
How to enable the feature:
1. To enable the feature, Click on the "PRO" icon in the upper right of the map.

2. In the "Pro Configuration" tab, enable the “Auto Zoom” option.

12

STREET VIEW
This feature enables users to view the map in street view mode, which provides apanoramic view of the location from the street level.
1. How to enable the feature:
In the bottom right part of the map, find the Street View icon (icon looks like a little yellowpegman).

2. To use this feature, you need to drag Pegman onto the map to open the street view.

13

STREET VIEW
Street View will open, showing you a panoramic view of the location. Use your mouse tolook around and navigate the Street View. You can also use the Street View controls at
the bottom of the screen to move forward or backward, rotate the view, and zoom in orout. To exit Street View mode, click on the "←" button in the upper left corner of thescreen.

14

HEATMAP LAYERS
This feature allows users to display data on the map as a heatmap, providing a morevisual representation of the density of data points in a given area.
How to enable the feature:
1. To enable the feature, Click on the "PRO" icon in the upper right of the map.

2. The map will update to display the data points on the map as a heatmap, with areas ofhigher intensity indicated by darker shades.

15SHOW RADII
The 'Show Radius' feature enables users to display and customize up to three radiiaround a selected map object and filter objects within those radii. This feature enables
users to gain a more precise understanding of their data points within a specific area, andmake more informed decisions based on their analysis.
How to enable the feature:
1. To enable the feature Click on the "PRO" icon in the upper right of the map.
2. In the "Pro Configuration" tab, enable “Show Radius” and choose the desired radii.

3. Go back to the Map, click on the object of interest and click "Show Radius".

16SHOW RADII
4. The radius will be displayed around your object. You can filter objects within a radiusby clicking on the radius label.

5. You will only see objects that fall within the selected radius.

17SHOW RADII
6. To display radii around all your objects, go to the 'Pro Configuration' tab, enable'Display All Radii,' and adjust the radii length (if needed).

7. Go back to the map and click "Update Radii" at the top of the screen.

18SHOW RADII
8. The radii around all your objects will be displayed on the map.

19

VERY LARGE DATASETThe 'Very Large Dataset' feature enables you to efficiently work with datasets containing
more than 30,000 rows. By default, when this function is disabled, the system processes
only the initial 30,000 rows and does not display the remaining data on the map. Thisfeature promotes faster data analysis and a more comprehensive view of data points,
enabling users to gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions based on theiranalysis.
How to enable the feature:
1. To enable the feature Click on the "PRO" icon in the upper right of the map.
2. In the "Pro Configuration" tab, enable “Very Large Dataset”.

20ADDRESS SEARCH
The 'Address Search' feature allows users to search for places by address or name,providing the ability to locate places of interest and find nearby objects. This aids inmaking informed decisions based on their analysis. Additionally, users can enable aradius of any size around the place of interest to visually understand the number ofobjects within this area.
How to enable the feature:
1. To enable the feature, click on the "PRO" icon in the upper right corner of the map.
2. In the "Pro Configuration" tab, enable “Address Search.”

3. Go back to the map, and in the search box that appears on the left side, enter theaddress or name of the location you are interested in. Set a radius for this place. Oncethe radius is set, it will filter all your objects within that range.

21GOOGLE PLACES SEARCH
The 'Google Place Search' feature allows users to search for both categories of places(such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, gas stations, parking, and more) and specificplaces by name. It empowers users to identify places located near their objects on themap, facilitating more informed decision-making based on analysis. Furthermore, users
can easily access information about the place, including phone numbers, ratings, website
links, photos, opening hours, and more. Additionally, users can enable Street View forplaces of interest and create up to three custom radii to determine the distance of theirobjects from that place.
How to enable the feature:
1. To enable the feature, click on the "PRO" icon in the upper right corner of the map.
2. In the 'Google Places' tab, enable 'Google Places'. Click 'Add a new place' and enter
the category of places you are interested in or the name of the place in the search box
that appears. Then, click 'Add'.
