Updated Category Name Custom Dimension for Category Views Analytics
The "Category View" Google Analytics 4 (GA4) event has been updated to include the category name instead of the category ID, providing more descriptive and useful analytics data.
Improved Error Handling
We have enhanced error handling for scenarios where a cache error might have previously resulted in a split screen display. In the rare event of such an issue, users will now encounter a more polished error page, complete with instructions and the option for a hard reload to resolve the problem.
Enhanced Location Data in API Responses
The API now provides additional fields when the "Full" option is used for location data. The response will include Labels, Keywords, and Category Name to allow for easier integration and implementation for customers integrating into mobile apps.
Miscellaneous Security Improvements
Multiple code bases have received ongoing security enhancements and software updates.
QR Codes for the Interactive Map
We've enhanced the sharing experience on our platform by enabling QR code generation for maps within the share modal on desktop interfaces. This new feature allows for convenient and quick sharing, catering to the needs of our front-end map users.
Via the CMS, admins can now choose to enable the QR code feature in the extensions tab, as well as download a QR Code directly as PNG images for various uses.
This functionality should not only benefit clients using QR codes for quick access to Map Tours or Locations around campus - but also clients using digital signage or kiosks to easily send the map view to end user devices.
This setting will default to off. It can be enabled via the extension tab in the CMS.

Improved Error Messaging for Walking Directions
We've refined the error messages provided when a user attempts to generate walking directions via Mapbox or Google that exceed the maximum distance limit. Users will now receive a clearer explanation and suggested actions when distance constraints prevent walking routes from being generated, ensuring a better understanding of the limitations and alternatives available.
Enhanced GA4 Tracking for Map URLs
We've expanded tracking capabilities within Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to add a new custom dimensions that captures the data after the hash in shared URLs, along with Marker ID and Category ID for better event analysis. With this enhancement, users can now effectively track visits from specific QR codes and refine reports based on category, subcategory, and location IDs.

Unified Share Modal Experience
Previously, the Global share button on maps would only automatically copy a URL. This resulted in end users unable to see additional URL details and embed code information. Now, enjoy a streamlined sharing process across the platform with the same share modal, now uniform, across global and location-specific sharing on the front end. The enhancement aligns desktop and mobile sharing experiences for a more intuitive user interaction.
