Map Mavin Roadmap – A Monthly Update

Launched in late 2016, Map Mavin is our pay-as-you go GIS cloud that lets users make unlimited public and password-protected web maps. Once you upload your vector and raster files to our secure Amazon cloud, you are ready to make and share your web maps in minutes – just like this demo web map we made with vectors and a base layer TIFF from Boulder, Colorado.

And with our Screen Share function, you can link up with users all around the world to collaborate on a map in real-time. Picture a live webex in your mind but just based around a map that moves and changes as the members of your team update information. Imagine the possibilities of working in real-time with a team of collaborators around the world without any GIS knowledge required!

Priced at just $20 per month with a free trial month, there is no other cloud-based GIS on the market that can compete with Map Mavin on price. For your $20 per month, you are able to store and/or download up to 5 gigabytes (5GB); and once you go over 5GB in a month, it costs you just 75-cents per GB from there! As an added bonus, you can cancel your monthly contract at any time.

April 2018 Product Updates

In the past few months, we released Map Mavin updates that included but were not limited to the following list of fixes, additions and enhancements:

  • The file format KMZ is now supported for uploads.
  • Added the ability to drag and drop (or reorder) layers in webmaps.
  • Improved webmap loading times and fixed a bug that caused colored tiles to load before data did.
  • Added a new OSM baselayer with more geographic detail.
  • Improved billing stability and warning emails (still in progress now).
  • We know it has been a long time since we have updated Map Mavin, and we apologize for this! We have a new team in place who are working on Map Mavin exclusively now so expect major changes coming soon!!
  • And while this is not live yet, you will be blown away by the speed of the new and improved Map Mavin system – we hope to push this significant performance enhancement to production in the next month or so. We have seen the new performance on a stage environment and oh goodness, let me tell you it is amazing!!!

Stay tuned to this series where we will let you know about the Map Mavin changes that were released in the past month.
