You can also get statistics on your maps from your “My Account” page. You’ll find useful information about visits, visitors and the number of clicks on your markers.

Note that after 30 days, your account will automatically be changed to the free bronze plan. You can also upgrade anytime to Silver, Gold or Platinum plan.

We hope you will enjoy trying Click2Map!

Subdomain for the generated maps

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Some users asked us about the URL address for the generated maps, like:
http://generator.click2map.com/maps/Steff1985/North%20America%20Parks

Why “generator”? Why not “www”? Couldn’t it be more standard with a URL address like:
http://www.click2map.com/maps/Steff1985/North%20America%20Parks?

In fact yes! So, we decided to apply this change for the maps generated as web pages or widgets.

If you have a link to your maps on your website, we can update it.

What about already generated maps?

Nothing changes! Using “generator” in the URL address of your already published map will still work.

Click2Map 1.5 released!

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

We’re proud to announce the release of Click2Map 1.5! Version 1.5 constitutes a major update and many long awaited features are now available:

  • Marker templates help you optimize the marker creation process by allowing you to globally define what your markers should look like, what kind of information they should include and how it should be presented. You can, of course, define as many different templates as you need.
  • The new My Database module allows you to define your own data categories and personal data fields. My Database is a huge helper if you ever need to create multiple markers that share common properties.
  • Variables are now more powerful than ever! In addition to Click2Map’s default internal variables, you can now automatically insert information from your database wherever you need it: variables can be used in almost all text fields available both for individual markers and for marker templates.
  • The updated import/export module provides even more accurate results in less time and better feedback on the geocoding operations as well as efficient error handling and real-time information.
  • Statistics provide feedback about your maps’ consultations by letting you know how many visitors clicked on your maps and which markers are the most popular.
