Trial limits and unlocking your full map
Try the map tools before buying an unlock. The limits apply to the current map: logging in alone does not unlock a map you have not purchased. The prompts explain what the trial can show and use the existing Buy Unlock flow.
Key entries and Excel colours
Trial maps allow five key entries. An Excel import keeps the whole file: the first four categories use their colours and all remaining categories share one dull-grey fifth entry. This also applies to Import with colours. Buy an unlock to restore the full imported categories and colours. Keep your original spreadsheet; the retained import is held on this browser and is not an account save.
Insets, drawings, images and marker boxes
Try one inset map, three shapes, lines or polygons, one uploaded image and five marker boxes. Text notes are not part of the shape limit. An oversized marker import leaves your input and existing markers unchanged so you can unlock or choose a list of up to five.
Circles and dots
Trial radial circles allow one set, up to four circles and intervals up to ten miles. Advanced circles and advanced dots can be opened to explore what is available; their controls require an unlock. Basic dot imports place up to twenty matched locations and state how many matched dots still need an unlock. Unmatched locations are reported separately, and the full input stays in the panel.
Distance and travel-time previews
Use any postcode or click a starting point. You can explore the distance and time menus. Trial calculations draw the current defaults: three distance bands up to twenty miles, with a matching map legend. Requested custom distances or times show an unlock prompt; they are not mislabelled as the preview distances.
Heat maps and additional data
Explore heat-map settings and sample data; applying a heat map requires an unlock. Additional data stays visible in the menu and requires an unlock to use.
Ask the map assistant
The assistant can help plan these jobs and carry out the permitted trial portion. It explains when a result will be partially complete and offers an unlock for the full job. Existing map work is kept when a limit is reached.
After buying an unlock
An active unlock for this map removes these feature restrictions. Your full retained Excel import can be restored in the same browser after the normal licence check confirms payment. A browser storage failure is reported; keep the original spreadsheet and leave the editor tab open until your map is restored.
