FAQ

Can I export my map to a video file?

Futuremaps does not have built-in functionality for exporting video. It only allows you to export maps as an image. However, you can use screen capture software such as Quicktime Player, LICEcap, Giffy, and others to export your map.

How can I get data from my back-end service into Futuremaps?

You can create a react/redux app with Futuremaps as your map display component, requesting data with any kind of server-side calls. The Futuremaps demo app uses simple AJAX calls to load data from a URL.

Is there a limit on the number of datasets that can be added to a map?

There is no limit, but the more datasets you add, the more likely it is that performance will suffer.

What is the maximum file upload size?

Futuremaps accepts files no larger than 250MB in chrome. You can load bigger files in safari, but performance will be limited.

How many layers can I add to a map?

There is no limit on the number of layers you can add. However, note that the more layers you have on your map, the more likely it is that performance will suffer.

Why does my layer colour change during filtering?

When layer colour is based on a numerical value (e.g, trip fare, distance, ETA), Futuremaps recalculates the colour scale based on filtered data. This is not the case for categorical values such as vehicle_name, cuisine_type and app version.
