Yesterday afternoon, we released an update to UtahRealEstate, upgrading the Polygon map tool with a new, easier to use Draw Tool.

With this tool, you no longer need to click individual points on the map. Instead, select the tool, then click and hold the mouse button while drawing on the map. Release the button to complete the selected area.

You can draw multiple areas on a map – a big advantage over the old polygon tool. If you wish to clear the map and start over, click on the map tool with the red X, which will clear the map without clearing the other search criteria. Also, as the new draw tool can draw any shape on the map, we have eliminated the rectangle tool. 

We also have a video that shows the basics of this new map tool. Note that the icon was changed to the pencil icon shown above: Map Search – Multi-Polygon Tool
