This blog describes the process for running the MapBusinessOnline Updater, found within the Map App folder. The MapBusinessOnline Updater ensures your software version is the latest available release. Read on for a complete understanding of how to access the Updater.
Thank you for using MapBusinessOnline Business Mapping Software.
Access to MapBusinessOnline begins when a new user registers for the free trial and subscription. We use your business email as the login credential for daily application access. The login process for MapBusinessOnline Standard & Pro requires an email and password. A change password option is presented at login.
The Map App & Updater
Once registered, a newly paid or free trial user must download the Map App. It’s an easy installation. Once installed, to access the MapBusinessOnline Map App from your desktop on Windows machines, use the Start Menu and scroll down to the MapBusinessOnline folder. Inside the Map App folder, use the Dropdown arrow to view the five options included in the Map App.
The Map App provides five specific functions, listed here in dropdown order:
- Compatibility Test – We may ask you to run this test if you get Internet access or other network errors. The Compatibility test will often return port identifiers that require settings adjustments.
- MapPoint Conversion Tool – Use this tool to see if your map project in MapPoint can be converted to MapBusinessOnline. Feel free to ask for assistance.
- MapBusinessOnline – Use this button to launch the MapBusinessOnline application. You can drag the icon to your desktop or taskbar for a launch button. I made mine a Start button launch icon.
- MapBusinessOnline Updater – The Updater will update the software to the latest release. Use this button to correct aberrant behavior in the application. When in doubt – run the Updater.
- MapBusinessOnline Viewer – The viewer enables public map sharing. Use this button to view a shared business map created by a MapBusinessOnline subscriber.
On Mac machines, find the Map App in the Applications folder.
Run the Updater
Running the MapBusinessOnline Updater is fast and easy. It’s a good idea to run the Updater regularly to stay on top of software updates.
Software controls are not behaving as expected. Software issues that suggest an update is necessary:
- Background map access is impeded or missing.
- Features are missing from the popup menus.
- Other random issues.
When in doubt – run the Updater.
