Organize into groups, reorder and hide items

The most requested features on MapHub have always been to provide better tools for organizing items. These include reordering them as well as organizing them into groups / folders. These are now possible, and are very simple to do.

Reorder items using drag and drop

An animated GIF demonstrating how to organize items into groups. It shows a user dragging an item from a list and dropping it onto a 'New group' button to create a new group, then adding more items to it.

Using the group selector

A GIF demonstrating how to assign an item to a group using a dropdown selector. A user selects 'Austria' from the 'GROUP' dropdown in an item's details, which moves the item into an 'Austria' group in the item list.

By importing

If you import a file, it’ll automatically be imported into a new group.

Hide and show items and groups

You can make both items and groups hidden by clicking on the visibility/eye icon. After this, the “Show all” button will only zoom to the visible items.

A GIF showing how to hide and show map items by toggling group visibility. The user clicks the eye icon next to the 'Austria' group, hiding its markers on the map, then clicks it again to show them, repeating for the 'Hungary' group.

Batch operations using groups

Using groups, you can do batch operations on many items at once

  • set colors
  • set marker symbols
  • move and copy to groups
  • export to GeoJSON
