How Do I Make Map Updates?

Updated: Courtney Conover Edited:

Any revisions or additions that need to be made to the map renderings, street labels, or building labels will need to be done by the Concept3D team. If you are currently using our dynamic labels, then these can be edited through your content management system. 

Below are the steps on how to add the revision request in your content management system (CMS) and what will be needed to complete any updates. Once added to the CMS, contact your Client Success Manager for a quote. All additions to the map will require an additional cost.

 

Timeline

Once the quote is approved, map updates can take between 4 to 6 weeks (sometimes longer depending on the scope).

 

 

How to add Map Updates in the CMS

1. Create a category titled "[Month, Year] Map Updates" in your CMS - include this as a sub-category under the Map Edits/Concept3D category, save and publish.

2. Create a sub-category inside "[Month, Year] Map Updates" for each type of edit you require.
(ex. Map Edits, Model Edits, Label Edits, Interior Edits). This is optional but will help speed up the turnaround time for your map update. Save and publish. (Icons are nice but not Necessary) 

3. Create a location for each map update needed and add these to the proper category within the
"[Month, Year] Map Updates" category, save and publish. Be sure to include a Title, Description, Image, and Marker for each location you create. 

Be careful that your location is in the correct category and not in multiple.

Note: Base exterior renderings include buildings (labels), roads (labels), sidewalks, parking lots, water, general crosswalks, general tree placement (for 3D maps), general woodchip areas, and any additional details outlined in a contract or SOW. Renderings are based on current Google Maps imagery unless high-resolution aerial imagery is provided at the start of the project. Custom features such as detailed landscaping, custom trees, path paver detail, street signs, streetlights, and custom crosswalks are not included in the standard map scope but can be added upon request with a scope adjustment.
