Summer 2025 Dynamics 365 Maps Release: Azure Maps, Canvas Apps, Smarter Territories & More!

Technology evolves, and so does Team Maplytics! With our March 2025 updates, your geo-mapping experience inside Dynamics 365 is about to get sharper, smarter, and more intuitive than ever. Whether you’re managing territories, tracking live locations, or bulk editing records, these upgrades will make your life easier, better streamline your workflow, and let you utilize data like a pro.

Let’s take a fun spin through what’s new—and how these features can be your real-world lifesavers!

1. Smarter Categorization

You’re managing a growing business and trying to analyze your clients. With enhanced categorization, you can now organize records by two different attributes—say, City and Industry.

Imagine you’re a sales manager at a logistics company. You want to see which industries you serve in which cities. With this update, you can toggle between different cities and industries effortlessly. If you need to focus only on New York’s retail clients, filter it out, and visualize the needful! Your map adjusts instantly.

More control, better data insights, and laser-focused decision-making. Learn about the pushpin customization and more, here.

2. Territory Management with a Major Upgrade

Forget manual plotting, territory management is now automated and dynamic. You can now visualize your own territories, and your team’s territories, and even save templates for future use.

Rocco, a regional manager, oversees three sales territories. With #MyTerritory# and #MyTeamTerritory#, he can now instantly view all territories assigned to him and his team members. Rocco need not toggle between reports as everything is plotted on the map for quick insights.

Faster decision-making, better resource allocation, and increased efficiency for field teams are the deliverables of the upgrade. Explore the details here.

3. Bulk Editing to Avoid One-by-One Tweaks

Need to update multiple users’ settings? Now, bulk editing lets you select several users and configure settings in one go.

Consider your company just expanded into three new states. Instead of updating settings for each sales rep manually, the admin selects all and updates the configurations in one step.

This surely saves time and minimizes errors in team-wide settings. Get the details here.

4. Live Tracking with Time Zones

Now, when tracking live locations, you’ll see the start and end times displayed in the local time zone of the viewer.

Suppose you’re managing a group of service technicians across multiple states. Before this, tracking their shifts was a headache because time zones kept messing up calculations and assignments. Now, it is crystal clear tracking, with the time zones mentioned!

More accurate reporting, better scheduling, and reduced confusion as an added plus. Click for a detailed description

5. Faster Navigation with Route Waypoints

One can now open saved routes with one click and view them on a preferred map!

A field rep is rushing between client meetings. Instead of manually entering addresses, he simply can click on a saved route and follow the navigation instantly.

Less hassle, more efficiency, and fewer wrong turns. Check this at length and more, here.

6. Views Based on Model-Driven Apps + Canvas App Integration

Now, Maplytics supports model-driven apps like Canvas Apps.

Your company develops custom Power Apps for tracking customer service requests. Now, you can integrate Maplytics into your app and analyze service locations in real-time.

This update brings mapping insights to every app experience! Here are the details for you to follow.

7. Maplytics List Control with the Power Of Azure

With the new PCF control with Azure Maps, you can now filter data in three ways: By Location, By Region, or By Drawing. Besides this, you can use Azure Maps to

1. Search Records or Addresses
2. Categorize, List, Filter, and Hover
3. Use POI Location and
4. Optimize Travel Routes

A real estate agency wants to find all available properties within a 5-mile radius of a specific location. With Radius/ Proximity Search, they can do that instantly instead of sifting through hundreds of listings.

Get hyper-relevant search results, faster than ever. An added bonus is all of it being accessible on mobile devices as well. Learn the Azure phase of Maplytics, here.

8. Auto-Suggest in 10+ Languages—Bonjour, Hola, Ciao!

The Auto-Suggest Control now lets you search addresses in multiple languages for individual records.

Your global customer support team needs to find locations across France, Germany, Italy, etc. Instead of struggling with translations for the names of the places, they can now search in local languages effortlessly within their comfort zones.

Expands usability for multilingual teams. Here’s how you can get your technicians to be more comfortable and productive.

9. Plot From File without burdening the CRM

Now, you can plot locations using an external file without adding them as records to CRM.

A market research team gets survey data in Excel format. Instead of manually entering each record, they upload the file and instantly see the results plotted on a map.

Works seamlessly with external datasets. Check out the operations that can be performed on them after visualization.

10. Map Edit Control- with a new look

You can now select the choice of map view and zoom in or out of the map as required within a Map Edit control.

Easy Viewing made possible. Check out more at length, here.

11. Multiple Addresses for convenient Workflow

Maplytics now supports CRM’s out-of-the-box Entity Addresses, allowing you to add and manage multiple addresses for a record seamlessly. By leveraging the Link To option in Entity Maps, you can fetch specific addresses, such as a primary business location, while filtering out others using Fetch XML. This enhancement ensures precise address mapping, making location-based decision-making more efficient.
