Smarter Collaboration, Clearer Insights: Map sharing, map notes, and quick statistics now available

Municipal teams need fast, clear information to keep projects moving and stakeholders aligned. Our latest platform update focuses on exactly that — giving you easier ways to share insights, understand system-wide conditions, and document what’s happening on the ground.

This release centers on one major theme: give teams clearer information, in less time, with fewer steps. Three new features—map sharing, map notes, and layer aggregates—are out now.

🗺️ Map Sharing: Portable Cyvl maps with AI-generated insights

Our new Map Sharing tool makes it simple to communicate what’s happening across your network.

You can now:

• Select a set of layers
• Generate an AI-powered executive summary of key insights
• Share it all through a view-only URL

No exporting screenshots or drafting summaries — the platform automatically highlights trends like pavement condition, asset counts, and priority areas. Recipients can explore the shared layers without needing a login.

For municipal staff, this is especially impactful. You can send a clear, self-contained update before a meeting, give leadership a quick way to understand what’s happening on the network, or share a focused view with a contractor without exposing your entire dataset.

📝 Notes: Document what you see, when you see it

Operational knowledge is critical — and often lives inside staff conversations or personal notebooks. Our new Notes feature lets you document that context directly on the map.

You can now attach notes to a:

• Point (e.g., a sign that needs replacement)
• Line (e.g., a segment of road awaiting a utility project)
• Area (e.g., a neighborhood where drainage issues have been reported)

Notes live alongside your other layers, so the next time someone opens that asset group, the “why” behind your data is as visible as the data itself.

📊 Layer Aggregates: Quick system-wide metrics

Municipal teams rarely have the time to click through thousands of assets to understand what’s going on. That’s why we introduced Layer Aggregates, a new way to get high-level metrics directly within the Layers panel. Each asset category now displays high-level metrics such as:

• Network score (e.g., 72)
• Asset totals (e.g., 1,049 hydrants)
• Condition indicators (e.g., 5% of 30-ft segments have potholes)

These quick statistics give you situational awareness without needing to run a report or filter the map. They’re designed for the realities of municipal work: responding to a question in a meeting, preparing talking points, or confirming system-wide health before setting priorities.
