Today, we are excited to introduce a game-changing update that brings real-time collaboration and an intuitive interface to the forefront of your map creation experience.

We heard your feedback, and we've completely revamped the map editor to provide a map creation experience like never before. The new user interface (UI) is not just an improvement; it's a transformation.

The new UI is more intuitive and offers a significantly enhanced map editing experience. Whether you're an individual user or part of a team, you'll notice the difference immediately.

One of the standout features is the ability to invite your team members to your workspace. Now, multiple people on your team can have access to Carta Maps, making collaboration seamless.

We've streamlined the map editing process, allowing you to manage your categories and map points all in one place. With the new interface, you can seamlessly drag and drop between categories or bulk select pins and assign them to a category.

Additionally, the new UI comes packed with keyboard shortcuts, empowering power users to speed through map editing tasks.

Our new interface is designed to offer a clutter-free experience that puts the map front and center. Listing, filter, and editing panes pop up intuitively when needed, allowing you to edit maps while keeping your focus on what matters most—the map.

Even better, all panes are customizable. You can toggle panes on or off to get more or less of the map on the screen, tailoring your workspace to your liking.

Imagine an editing experience where everything is updated in real-time. With Carta Maps' latest feature, this isn't just a dream; it's a reality.

As you and your team members work on maps, everything is updated instantly, allowing you to see progress from other editors as it happens. It's like having a virtual workspace where everyone is on the same page, working collaboratively in real time.

We're excited to announce that the new interface is available to all Carta Maps users. You can start benefiting from the enhanced map editing experience right away. However, for those looking to unlock the full potential of team collaboration, our new team plan is here to meet your needs.

We're not stopping here. Carta Maps is committed to continuous improvement. In the pipeline, we have an undo/redo feature that's almost complete. You can also look forward to more real-time updates, allowing you to see your collaborators' cursor and selected map elements. Plus, there's a new AI assistant on the way to help you make maps even faster.

Ready to experience the future of map creation? Simply log in, and the new editor will be there, waiting for you. If you're interested in utilizing the team collaboration features, don't hesitate to contact us or upgrade to the team account in your dashboard.

Another month down and another release out. This one is exciting since it includes two great features many map makers have been asking for, Clustering of markers and a public API.

Now by default any markers that would normal overlap or collide, will be grouped into a cluster. Clicking a cluster will zoom you in enough so that each marker can be visible without overlap.

In some cases, markers are just too close and cannot be split up. For these one off instances, clicking the cluster will open popups for all markers in the cluster group.

Before you ask, yes, clusters are also customizable so you can keep all aspects of your map branded to your liking.

Our new API is ready to go! Now pro account users can leverage the API to keep their maps in sync with their internal tools and systems. Head over to our new documentation page to learn more about what is possible.

You can finally have more than one image per location in your popup! It changes from a static image to a carousel that your viewers can easily swipe through.

Export your map data in multiple formats, CSV or GeoJSON. If you choose CSV but have boundary data on your map, it will export both, a CSV version with single point information and a GeoJSON file for the boundaries.

You can now view what locations are associated with each category when editing categories. Also added a count, to provide information around how many locations have been associated with each category.

The uploader got a little make over. It now allows for more robust mapping of your data to the required Carta Maps data. Including categories, website links, call links and more.

We also provided a better interface for large uploads, display progress as your locations are created.

You can now filter locations by multiple categories on public maps AND in the backend.

We also added free text search for locations which will help you manage locations even easier, especially when dealing with high number of points.

Fixed an issue around custom Mapbox Studio map tiles.

Provided better UI around bulk uploads

We are still working on revamping categories to be multi-directional. Hoping to have more information around this next release.

You can now enable crowdsourcing on your maps! This means that anyone with your map link can collaborate and add their own location and boundaries. By default, all locations will require your approval.

Public share and duplication icons were moved to a new location to prevent overlap with categories.

Work has started on upgrading categories to be multi-directional. This means that locations will be able to have multiple categories. This will enable for more complex categorization and improve map search-ability.

Biggest feature to date is our new dynamic social sharing cards. Now when you share a map, you get a custom thumbnail that matches 100% to your custom map. Check this one out below!

You can now share your map on your social media accounts with a single click!

You can now duplicate a public map with a single click. Don't have an account yet? No worries. Carta walks you through the account creation process and your duplicated map is there waiting for you in your dashboard.

* Preview mode now ensures all locations and boundaries are visible on load

* Action links now allow tel and mailto links

You can now upload custom images or svgs to use as your marker icons. This new feature also cascades down from a global (entire map) level down to individual locations. Making it simple to upload an image once and have it applied to all your markers.
