We are delighted to announce that the latest version of Azimap is now available to all existing customers and anyone who signs up to try Azimap Professional, which is free for 30 days.
The latest launch introduces several new features, system improvements and bug fixes to enhance the end-user experience. Users will notice a significant speed increase with data and layers loading faster, as well as improved performance across all analysis tools and queries. Performance improvements have resulted in a 50% increase in speed across the whole platform!
This release furthers our commitment to providing our users with the most feature-rich and powerful web GIS available. New features released as part of Azimap 5.8.0.3 include:
Walking Route Generator
Quickly create optimised walking routes utilising open data. Following our driving route feature, users can now calculate the optimal walking route between two points. Routes can be generated between features or destinations on the map. Selecting multiple destinations will produce the optimal route between all of them, along with walking directions. Unlimited route generation is included as standard with Azimap.

Walk Time Analysis
Quickly identify accurate walk times from any location. In addition to our Walking Route Generator, users can now create walking time polygons to determine the duration of a walk from a specific feature or location. The Walk Time Analysis wizard enables users to set up regular time interval polygons to help identify different walking times from any point of interest. Creating an isochrone map has never been simpler.
Improved Measurement Tools
New advanced Measurement Tools providing greater insight into your data. In addition to the existing line and polygon area measurement tools, users can now view the total perimeter length of any measured polygon, as well as the length of the last segment of any line measurement.
Advanced Layer View Controls
New Layer View Controls provide extra functionality to fully customise when and how viewers see select layers and data. Previously, users were only able to select layer views as on/off, scaled or permanently scaled. In our latest update, users now have even greater control over how and when their layers are visible on any map.

Dataview Restrictions
Restrict the data displayed in feature pop-ups. Thanks to our new pop-up configurator, users can easily select which data columns map viewers have access to when selecting features. Individual columns can be turned on or off with the click of a button, simplifying the process of restricting data access to specific maps or users.
Define Map Scales
Set custom scales as displayed in the scale chooser. Users can edit and define the scales displayed in the scale chooser located at the bottom of every map. As some map projections and layers use different scales, it is now possible to edit the description of these so that when a map is shared, they will feature more internationally recognised and standardised scales.
Enterprise Updates
In addition to the updates mentioned above, Enterprise users can also benefit from further features. These include:
Custom Search Definitions - create any search on your data, including results that support categorisation
Link to Layers - link directly to a layer defined in Geoserver on any Azimap map
Recalculate Layer Configurations - changes to a map's database can now be recalculated and updated on a map to reflect any alterations
