Layer-based edit­ing

Edit­ing by map layer is ex­tremely use­ful for cap­tur­ing over­lap­ping map fea­tures (for in­stance, “bedrock ge­ol­ogy” and “sur­fi­cial ge­ol­ogy” lay­ers). But it can be used to sep­a­rate any fea­tures that you want to edit in­de­pen­dently.

• Sep­a­rate lay­ers of map­ping that can be in­de­pen­dently edited
• Snap­ping im­prove­ments for in­di­vid­ual map lay­ers
• Layer re­order­ing

Go­ing for­ward, this fea­ture will un­der­pin a han­dling of more com­plex types of map data (e.g., notes, point-based sam­ple data, etc.) atop the cur­rent topo­log­i­cal map.

New pro­ject cre­ation work­flow

• New con­trol to set map area
• Sug­gests the best pro­jec­tion (UTM zones or WGS84 lat lon) for your map­ping area

User in­ter­face im­prove­ments

• New vi­su­al­iza­tions of “in-progress ed­its”
• New con­trols: Zoom to map area, Re­load map
• First steps to­wards re­work­ing Pro­jects page
• New se­lec­tion func­tions: Change layer

• More mod­ern in­ter­nal map server
• Slightly more ef­fi­cient map queries
• Im­proved server-linked map­ping mode
• In­ter­nal han­dling of point data sources
