A New MapBusinessOnline Look & Feel
You asked for it. This week MapBusinessOnline 6.1 was released which provides an enhanced look and feel for America's best business mapping application. A Microsoft Office-like ribbon has been added as an option. The User Interface overall has been given a lighter set of colors along with flatter control buttons. We hope you like it.

MapBusinessOnline Tips & Tricks
- If you are importing the same dataset over and over, the Plot Data button includes the option to import from server. This can streamline data imports if you are rebuilding a map you just setup recently and the data hasn't changed
- Use the Blog search tool and the MapBusinessOnline YouTube search function to look up helpful blogs and videos. Most of your map operations are covered in these help libraries
- Don't forget! If you checked the Filter Data on Map button to isolate a territory, you must uncheck it. That's why you can't add or delete territories. Probably our most common technical support question
- Remember to keep your business map simple. Too many symbol ranges can make a map confusing to your map viewer. Remember, it's a business map, not a balloon festival.
