PLATFORM UPDATES

Currently the maps displayed in the Amplus Forms app are driven by the default "tile source" including Apple Maps on iOS, Google Maps on Android, and Thurderforest map tiles for Windows.

If you are one of those GIS users, you likely already have the ability to generate your own custom map tiles, embedded with extra data points such as contouring. But even if you don't use a GIS, there are many mapping providers around that can provide differently defined maps which may be useful for your workers. An example might be to use a highly detailed satellite imagery, not something we can provide due to cost, but may be a game-changer for your team.

That is why we are releasing a new "Mapping Tile Source" option which you can set at the organization level as a default, as well as at the Screen level. With this new ability, you will specify the URL to your custom tile source, and the app will display maps using those tiles accordingly.

Like rendering custom layers and polygons, we are really looking forward to seeing how you use these custom tile sources.
