MBO Map Gallery

Be sure to stop by Map Business Online's Map Gallery every so often to view an interactive map of a geospatial scenario. These maps are designed to represent real world situations that translate well into a business map. Feel free to submit requests for a Map Gallery subject. Please include data sources with permissions and perhaps a sense of what the maps purpose should be.

MBO Feature of the Month - Export Query Results

Business mapping software as a visualization tool makes it possible for business users to import location data and append it with demographic data. Once the map visualization has been created, a business map user can create queries, filters and geo searches that generate new data results. Those data results are easily exported from the Map Business Online Data Window view.

All query results are saved to the Data Window. All filter and query results are displayed in the Data Window. These results are exportable - just click the right-most button on the Data Window toolbar. The data will be exported in CSV file format, easily opened from within Excel or other database programs.
