Moving Beyond iFrames
Up until the end of 2014, MapsPLUS was rendered exclusively as an iFrame. With the introduction of the faster, more flexible, integrated JavaScript solution, we will no longer be maintaining our original iFrame version.
There are a handful of situations in the land of web development where iFrames can be a quick and convenient solution. As developers of the MapsPLUS application, the iFrame provided an excellent way to quickly offer our maps with virtually no coding required. However, with ease, comes compromise, and we ultimately wanted to provide greater power and flexibility to our clients in implementing their maps. The examples in the Real Estate Showcase on this website, along with the new maps we continue to build, no longer use an iFrame. Our maps are now implemented with a little more customized JavaScript code, giving you more power in what you can do with your map, along with more integration with the rest of your site. We will no longer be supporting our original iFrame version. Here are the main benefits in using our integrated solution compared to the old iFrame method.
