Upload spreadsheet to a map: New Video

April 29th, 2013

We’ve recently released a 2-minute video demonstrating how to upload your spreadsheet data to a map on ZeeMaps.

The video creates a map of hotels and dining establishments in Austin, Texas. We create a new map, upload the spreadsheet to the map, adjust the column assignments and submit. Within a few minutes we have a map of over 150 locations! It also demonstrates how we can use a “Category” column to get different colored markers.

Check it out and let us know what you think.

Where did the Housing, Crime, and IP Maps go?

April 15th, 2013

We are beginning to phase out specialized maps for Housing, IP, and Crime. You will notice that the “Create Map” dialog does not contain a “Map Type” option anymore, and you cannot create a Crime, Housing or IP map from the home page.

If you still need to create one of these types of maps, you can use the “Create Map” dialog in the “My Maps” page. Please note that we will be reducing support for these types of maps, so if you can, start using the “Regular” maps.

Let us know if this is a major inconvenience.
