Description of the new features and improvements to the individual versions.
The drawing tolerance when creating the section line with the function Split element has been reduced to one pixel.
The function keys in the editing module for the following functions "Add", "Split", "Add Island" and "Continue Line" have been adapted:
The editing function in the "tracking" mode has been extended by an "automatic scrolling" function that automatically moves the map window towards the next line when tracking long or large geometries. <!--
The option "Follow element (tracing)" has been added to the editing functions "Share" and "Add island".
Split
Add Island
-->
This new function enables the display of map contents at a specific time by entering the date and/or time.
After calling the function, a component for selecting the date is available, which applies the selected date to all active themes with time series by pressing the button "Apply". With the button "Reset" the filter is removed from the corresponding themes and the current date (today) is set on the date component.
In the TOC (table of contents) the filtered active topics are marked accordingly.
The legend is only retrieved via the OGC WMS standard call GetLegednGraphic. Thus, the configuration of the legend is only managed by the WMS server itself anymore, e.g. I18n, layout, etc. The change has an influence on the following areas :
The function for creating a "hole" has been extended with the snap function. In addition, it is possible to create a "hole" as well as the inner "island" in one step.

| Safari | 12.1 |
| Firefox | 63 |
| Edge | 79 |
The function for retrieving documents has been optimised for display on mobile devices. The function is accessible via 4 entry points :
The functionality of the documents is identical to the previous versions.
The control is indicated in the Maps Client by the standard error output, with the error highlighted in red in the list of features and the detail displayed on mouse over.
This version introduces the possibility to edit the attributes of N features simultaneously.
First of all it is necessary to open the editing tool, and select the features to be edited. To do this, you can click on the desired geometries, or hold down the CTRL key and select them. Use the flag on the left to select the objects you want to edit, as shown in the image below.
Now, click on the button 
to open a mask allowing you to select one or more attributes that you wish to modify for the selected objects:
Once the attributes have been selected, click on "OK" to switch to the value input screen.
Enter the desired values for the previously selected fields and press OK to confirm.
Records will be marked as edited in the editing bar
The "Tracing" function allows lines or polygons to be drawn, tracing vertex by vertex other polygonal or linear geometries. The tracing function is not available for the following types of geometry:
Enable snapping to a linear or polygonal theme, then open an object edit. Enable the "Tracing" button, then move to the area to be traced.
Click on the point where you want to start tracing (1), then move the mouse slowly along the desired geometry. Click again to consolidate the tracing you have just done (2). Continue editing normally (3) and close the geometry by double-clicking (4)
When drawing a polygonal or linear geometry, it is possible to cancel the insertion of the last vertex using this button
The tool will not work if:
The editing tools have been restructured to improve performance and usability. Most of the changes include technical improvements not visible to the user. The main user-visible features include:
In the case of overlapping geometries, the click selects both.
The undo/redo last edit options are only available for confirmed geometry operations.
the redesign of the editing toolbar and the Union tool.
You can now choose the image format (png, jpeg, gif, tiff). The saving of the georeferenced image now also shows the date of saving. The image is saved in the displayed coordinate system.
The new search tool opens in overlay on the map instead of the ToC. This choice has been made to search for features even with the ToC closed, but also to have more graphical space.
The main novelty of the new search is also to be able to insert a value by searching for it in a drop-down menu. This option must be configured in MapsConsole, attributing the desired field to the specific value.
The 
button in the lower-right corner of the map opens a descriptive text expressing copyright on currently active themes. The same parameter is printed. See MapsConsole documentation for more details.
By using the function Identify 
you can also query the raster data
When researching a topic, the same parameters are passed on to any implicit topics. In order to function correctly ** it is necessary that the implicit themes have the same questionable fields** as the theme that contains them.
The indentation of the ToC has been increased to give more visibility to the tree of groups and themes
The new filter function allows you to change the display by specifying a filter term over several columns of a topic in the map window. The filter is only available for topics with a query option (WFS service required). It is also possible to provide each topic with its own filter. Of course, the original state of the topic can be restored by deleting the filter.
With this option, the search term is also applied to the map, i.e. only the geometries that match the search term are visible. In addition, the corresponding search result is displayed in the attribute list.
The input field for value adapts to the corresponding data type:
After selection, the topic is marked in the TOC.
With this alternative, a new search term can be created as a filter. Again, the attribute list is not displayed and the search definition window is closed after input.
will have the same behavior and design of the standard search window in the selection function.
The Georeferenced image tool allows you to download the content visible on the map as a georeferenced image.
New developments in measuring tools allow you to use this functionality to draw geometries and apply advanced styles to them. These new features also make the measuring tools practical drawing tools.
Select the measurement tool: 
.
Once selected, a window will open in which you can select measurement preferences, including:
At the same time, a toolbar will appear on the map, looking like this
The details of each instrument and functionality are described below
Select this tool and click on the map to place a measurement. Simultaneously with the click, the coordinates will be compiled and a new record will appear in the "Feature drawn" bar, described by default as "Point X" (Where X stands for the progressive number of drawings made).
Click the 
button to zoom in on the respective feature or the 
button to delete it.
By clicking on the feature title, for example "Point 1" you can configure the feature properties in detail:
You can change the geometry by clicking on the vertex and dragging the point.

You can also download or persist selected objects. See Actions on Measurements.
All drawn measurements are automatically saved in the context cache until they are deleted or the user is reset. The measurements appear in the ToC and behave like the other themes.
Click the 
button to download the measurement geometries. Select the export format, enter an email, and export.
Click the 
button to copy the measurement geometries to the ToC, in the "Store geometries" group. These can be used for other purposes, such as editing.
Click the 
button to delete all drawn measurements. The action is irreversible.
With the new "+" and "-" buttons at the top of the ToC, you can open or close all groups together.
Already existing selection tools have been redesigned, including new functionality
For selection tools via point or line the Buffer bar is now automatically enabled.
If you leave the value = 0 the behaviour is the one described in the selection paragraph.
By entering a numerical value greater than 0, and selecting the correct unit of measurement, the selection will be made respecting the selected buffer.
You can also apply a buffer to the results to use the resulting geometry as a new selection geometry.
If you select a single record, the buffer is only applicable to the selected feature.
The left part of the selection toolbar shows the actions you can perform on the current selection.
| Tool | Operation |
|---|---|
 |
If active, the map will adapt to the maximum size of the selected geometries. |
 |
Allows you to make further selections. The results will be added to the existing selections. |

The research has been improved:
Search results in table
The MAPS rendering engine is OpenLayers. OpenLayers is based on the concept of "Zoom Levels", universally recognized and now a convention of all the most advanced webgis systems.
Given what has just been explained, it is advisable to keep the "Default Resolution" flag always on. This flag guarantees navigation to entire "Zoom Levels" and therefore 96 DPI.
It goes without saying that you have to "leave" the old concept of "whole scale" when navigating on a webgis. MAPS guarantees correct printing at the desired resolution, where the concept of "whole scale" makes sense and is also measurable.

In each print you have the possibility to activate a grid that is controlled directly by the print function. The function also offers the possibility to select a reference system.
With the option to save the user profile, the personal settings of a user can be passed on in the currently selected context. This allows sharing a work session in a specific context with another user.
The temporary geometry storage enables the transfer of geometries from different data sources with subsequent storage in the user profile. The following data sources are supported for filling the user's temporary memory:
Transfer of a current selection of elements of a theme by the selection function
Transfer of drawn elements from the measurement function
Each change to the content is automatically saved in the temporary storage of the user profile. In addition, the size of the temporary storage is limited to 1,000 elements per user profile and context.
After successfully filling the temporary memory, the elements can be used as follows:
All elements become visible according to geometry type (point, line and area elements) as a theme in the corresponding group in the TOC (Table of contents) and can be manipulated with the functions Change transparency, Change arrangement (Move).
The elements in the temporary memory will be displayed in an output window displaying the currently available elements.
The output window has the following functions:
After expiry of the current session or after 30 min. Inactivity redirects the map to the login page.
Adaptation of the layout of the templates in editing mode with adaptation of the search function to the topic search.
In the attribute list it is possible to select an object from the list to create a printout in PDF format after a linked print template.
The new function allows the display of the corresponding position within Google Street View by specifying an exact point in the map window (of course only in the area of the zones used). A separate browser window is opened, which is updated by selecting new positions in the current map window again.
This function allows you to include WMS layers by entering a standard "GetCapabilities" URL in the following form http or https://{server-url}/{path}/wms. The added topics can interact with the visualization and expression functions.
Currently the following options are supported :
The configuration of the temporary layers is stored in the user profile of the corresponding context. It is also possible to delete the layers from the TOC (Table of contents), which also deletes the layers in the user profile of the current context.
The layout of the application was adapted in appearance (e.g. colors) and functionality to be better usable for mobile devices like smart phones and tablets in a next release.
Group
A group can be opened over the whole area or as usual in the area of the direction indicator. The group can be moved as usual via the corresponding "icon" or via the Drag&Drop function in the border area of the group.
Tema
Activating a theme can be done over the whole area or as usual in the area of the checkbox. The theme can be moved as usual using the corresponding "Icon" or using the Drag&Drop function in the marginal area of the theme.
Mobile
Optimized layout for mobile devices, with context switching, main menu and functions such as zoom in/out, location, rotation, map content control, identify and insertion of new objects.
The position determination function reads out the current position and displays it in the centre of the map section.
The rotation function allows you to rotate the map section on mobile devices by simulating a rotation with two fingers. On the desktop, the keyboard shortcuts are Alt+Shift+Drag. By clicking on the corresponding symbol, the map section is brought to the original rotation.
The display of snap topics has been integrated into the TOC (Table of contents). By default, those topics that are preconfigured in the MapsConsole are activated for snapping. Nevertheless it is possible to activate or deactivate the option for snapping for every queryable theme (WMS and vector). The function can be used or in the Measure function or in the Editing function.
Correct display of the identifier after a feature search
Limit of 15 MB when uploading a vector file
Activation of the catch function from a scale of 1:500
New parameter BBOX in the URL Parameter, e.g.
Layer di that are no longer visible in a certain scale (setting in the MapsConsole) are not displayed in the printout.
Adaptation of the layout of the operations
If the Detailed Legend Call (RULE) is not present, the standard GetLegendGraphic call is issued.
Changing the layout for selecting the current language
Correcting the scale bar in the printout
The search is extended with the function for fixing. In this way, only the selected search can be searched.
In MAPS, catching is also available for geographical objects on the server side and is supported by the "Editing" function.
The function allows the integration of local layer which are not preconfigured in the MapsConsole by simple Drag&Drop.
Currently the following formats are supported :
All temporarily added topics can interact with the visualization, printout and query functions. The configuration of the temporary topics is stored in the user profile of the corresponding context. It is also possible to remove the topics from the TOC (Table of contents), which also deletes the topic in the user profile of the current context.
In the right pane of the Client window, the toolbar for accessing the following functions has been modified:
- Change language
- Reset user settings (optional)
- Terms of use (optional)
- Release notes
In the modified toolbar you have the possibility to retrieve the release notes.
The "Identify" window shows the availability of linked documents for each geographical object.
In the Identify window, the unique key of the geographical object is replaced by the label.
A new feature is the ability to export geographical objects in asynchronous mode by specifying a valid e-mail address. The link to download the export is listed in the e-mail reply. The link expires after 24 hours.
The current selection is visible in the printout. The symbolism corresponds to the configuration of the selected elements in the current context. In addition, a new topic "Selection" is visible in the TOC (Table of contents).
The following functions are new in the detail window:
The new function provides for the integration or execution of generic ETL scripts in maps. The function can be called via the corresponding toolbox and has a selection list of all available ETL scripts of the current context. After selecting a geoprocess, the UI inherits the parameters defined in its ETL script. The following response modes are available by configuring the ETL script on the server side:
In MAPS, catching is also available for geographical objects on the server side and is supported by the "Measure" function.
The new function provides for querying topics using the attributes preconfigured in the topic. The function can be called from the query toolbar.
The Querybuilder allows the selection of all query topics that are currently visible in the map window.
After selecting a topic in the list, all attributes marked as visible in the MapsConsole are available for query.
After selecting the corresponding field, the operator and the value to be queried can be defined. The system additionally offers the combination of several fields in the "AND" (see "+" symbol) mode.
You can also restrict the search to the current map window.
