    🫆 Password protected maps

    In addition to the options of “Public” and “Private”, you can now also choose to make your maps semi-private by selecting “Password protected” and enter a password. This allows you to share maps that should not appear publicly with others.

    Please note that geodata, such as GeoJSON and iCAL may be downloadable if the link is opened directly.

The links can be found in the profiles.

    We’ve also registered the following official social media profiles. Let’s connect!

    🌍 GLOTTER goes 3D

    From now on maps can be viewed in a cool 3D globe which makes zooming and panning more intuitive.

    The new view mode is optional. You can switch between 3D and Standard by clicking on the “3D” button. Of course users can define the initial mode for each of their map individually.

    A globe only makes sense on maps with multiple far-scattered markers and a small zoom factor:

    Our latest release also brings some performance optimizations which reduce page load time and improve the user experience of GLOTTER.

    Have fun trying it out!

    🌒 GLOTTER is now available in dark mode

    GLOTTER’s design has been updated to support a dark color scheme. It will be activated automatically based on user preferences in the browser settings. Of course it can also be enabled and disabled manually via the dropdown menu.

    The dark mode is a matter of taste and one can argue about it – but it has been proven by several studies that darker colors are better for low-light environments.

    Feedback on this new feature is welcome!
