Maps 374 - Adding Images to the Safe Title Tool for Previewing a Lower 3rds

XPression Maps content is created inside of XPression Maps Designer or the XPression Maps MOS plugin and might not give the user an idea what programmatic content might obscure the final map when it goes to air. Now, it is possible to add images, such as a mock-up of a channel logo and lower-third content to the XPression Maps Safe Title Tool, to give users a better idea of where to leave some room for other graphics content. This video shows how this advantage can improve how maps are used in your productions.

Maps 378 - Using Wider Interstate Signs for Highways with 3-Digit Numbers

The US Interstate Highway Authority created strict guidelines on how highway signs were to be created. Interstate signs were to have consistent numbers in fonts and sizes to provide clarity to users traveling at high speeds. Broadcast map designers might have a different purpose. Our original XPression Maps customers in the USA asked for the shield to stay the same size, and the numbers to shrink. That is not what the Interstate Highway team wanted, and some other customers agreed. Now, there is a way to use Open Street Maps and utilize wider shields, like it was intended.
