This week brings AI-powered chat directly into Atlas interfaces, smarter date filtering, a richer right-click map menu, and persistent view filters — alongside a wide sweep of comment, layer, invitation, and rendering fixes.
Features
AI Chat Widget
You can now embed an AI chat assistant directly in your Atlas interfaces. Users can ask questions about the data on the map and get answers in plain language — no switching tabs, no copy-pasting values. Add it like any other interface widget from the widget picker.
Dynamic Date Filters with "Today"
Date filters now include a "Today" option alongside specific date pickers. Filters like "created before today" or "updated after today" stay accurate across sessions without any manual updates — the date resolves dynamically at query time. Works with all date operators.
Right-Click Map Menu
Right-clicking anywhere on the map now opens a context menu with two new options: add a comment at that exact location (no second click needed), and open the spot in Google Maps or Google Street View. The comment option respects your project's comment settings and requires authentication in embed and public modes.
Persistent View Filters
View filters can now be saved globally so they apply every time you open a project. Set up your filter from the data table or view filter editor, hit "Save", and it persists across sessions. You can still layer temporary filters on top, and view filters remain hidden from shared and preview maps.
ZXY Tile Basemap Support
Basemaps loaded from a URL now support the ZXY tile format in addition to existing options. Useful for connecting custom tile sources and self-hosted basemaps.
CRS Picker for DXF Imports
DXF files don't include coordinate reference system metadata, so Atlas now lets you specify the CRS manually during import. Ten common systems are available as presets, with an option to enter a custom one. This removes the guesswork when importing DXF data from external sources.
Auto or Manual Metric for Area and Perimeter Columns
Computed area and perimeter columns now default to automatic unit selection based on zoom and geometry size, with the option to override to a specific metric. Previously the unit was always fixed — now Atlas picks the most readable unit automatically.
