Map Tricks

If you’re running the latest version of Tallyopia, you’ve seen the new maps that we’re using.  There are a few tricks with them that you’ll want to know about:

  • You can zoom in on an area by holding down the shift button and dragging a rectangle over the desired zoom area
  • If you’ve zoomed in on the map, clicking the plus button on the bottom right lets you see an overview showing where you’ve zoomed to.  You can move the zoomed area by dragging it around the overview map.
  • Clicking the plus button on the top right lets you pick different map layers.  This is fun – some of the layers look really great!

Nice, aren’t they?  If you’d like to see more map features, let us know.

Tip – Clickable Legends

The legend items in the time series charts are clickable. When you click on a legend item, the corresponding series is removed from the chart. Clicking the legend item again restores it. This lets you examine the series on the charts in more detail. For example, you could hide everything except for the “Tag” and “Hits” items to view how traffic to your Tag Archives compares to overall traffic.
