Plotting and Filtering Records on an Azure Maps
In Maplytics, the PCF Control makes mapping smarter with Azure Maps by letting you plot records in three easy ways—Proximity Search to find nearby records, Region-based plotting to map data by selected areas, and Drawing tools to customize plots with your shapes. Records appear as pushpins on the map, where you can hover for quick details or click for more info.
With a single click, you can open records, get directions, set locations for proximity search, mark POIs, create tasks and appointments, or take quick actions like emailing and calling—making data navigation seamless.
For a clearer view, multiple records are clustered together, displaying the total count on top, ensuring a neat and organized map interface. This update makes location-based insights more intuitive and actionable than ever.
