Now available for download: New spatial selection options with the Advanced Selection bundle
map.apps already offers standard functions to select features via the selection tool by dragging a rectangle (or circle, etc...) or by "drawing" multiple graphic shapes on the map, and displaying the seleciton results in the Result Center.
A new bundle, "Advanced Selection", now enables advanced spatial selection options, which may be quite complex in nature. Different selection methods are provided in a central selection widget. These are intuitive and optimized to be able to perform more complex selection methods with a few clicks, which till now may have required several operations.
