Data sets for many different forms of transportation exist and there are many ways to use geo tools like Mapsimise to plot and display data. Transportation may cover different modes of transport, powered or not on land, sea and air. As an organisation you may supply, sell or manage services.
Public transport or private higher coach organisations may be working with many different data sets from customers, bookings, routes and may have a need for live traffic updates. Location data of stops, points of interests, and service stations can be useful when planning routes. Mapsimise can help with all these features, bringing your data to life using Google Maps.
Mapsimise can be used to plan and create routes of journeys to be taken, along with routes being defined by your data integrated into the map.

Prepare your address-based business data, and let Mapsimise do the hard work of plotting it on a map. Be it contact locations, assets, properties, store locations, appointments - anything that has an address can be visualised on a map.
Import your .CSV or .XLSX files from Excel, and tell Mapsimise which columns to use as address fields. We then do the hard work of converting the addresses to global locations so that you can see where in the world you are doing business
If your data already has latitude/longitude co-ordinates no worries! Mapsimise respects your pre-geocoded data and will automatically plot it for you.
Already managing your accounts, contacts and leads with an online CRM system? Mapsimise can connect to Dynamics 365, Salesforce, and Sugar CRM and display your live data on maps.

Visualise your business entities on a map, and open records in your connected CRM. Perform spatial queries on your data and push results back into CRM marketing lists/campaigns.
Use Mapsimise's drawing tools to perform spatial queries on your data. From a simple box to an entire outline of a territory, it's easy to filter your data based on distance and area. No more guesswork using postal codes or area names! Combine shapes to create complex filters.
Use widely-available KML files containing predefined shapes such as state and postal code boundaries, countries, school catchment areas and more to narrow down your queries.

Similar to building charts in Excel, simply designate columns from your Mapsimise data grid as axis for your chart. Values can be shown as a count (for example: count of records by gender) or by sum (for example: totalling opportunity value over x months).
As you move around the map or draw shapes to filter your data, the charts update dynamically. Choose from an array of colour schemes to add a personal touch to your mapped data presentation, and then save the chart in a map view ready to share with your team or the world!
Mapsimise makes working with maps a collaborative and flexible experience. Set up a map with multiple layers of connected or imported data, then all team members can create unlimited views against that map. All shapes, data filters, KML regions, routes and visual themes/effects are saved in a view.
Share your map views with other team members, either as view-only or with edit permissions. Add notes to the map to highlight points of interest to your team.
Share your maps with the world by making map views publicly available via links or website embedding.

Auto-routing lets you take a selection of filtered records and plot them automatically, optimising by route or respecting the start times from your dataset - allowing you to best-fit your appointments or deliveries to a route and a schedule.
Mapsimise allows you to search worldwide for arbitrary locations by postal code, street name, city, points of interest and more. You can add these locations to a driving route, or create a filter from them (for example: all my customers within 10 miles of LaGuardia)

Mapsimise has a powerful query builder that lets you filter on names, dates, numbers, yes/no fields and more. Use AND and OR groupings to build complex queries.
If you need to use a particular query frequently, Mapsimise lets you set up Quick Filters that are always displayed at the top of your map. For example: a date range for displaying appointments, or a dropdown of types of customer.
Use Pin Variations to change the icon, shape, and colour of your map markers according to fields on your data. For example: colour-coding your global opportunities by closure probability.
Use clustering to help visualise where you have large collections of data by grouping markers together. Analyse this further by using heatmaps, which provide a striking visualisation of the spatial weighting of your data.
Proximity filtering gives you the ability to compare distances between two of your data layers. Mapsimise provides several options to help visualise the proximity of records.
