XPression Maps allows the Maps Designer to design and utilize styles to colorize and label shapes with consistency. Using the Manage Templates Tool in XPression Maps, those styles can be shared on the XPression Maps Server so the XPression MOS users can access them. Maps users in the newsroom can use the styles to highlight geographic regions for comparing trends or weather warning, geographic political affiliations, medical trends or many other reasons. The nice part about it, the Maps Designer chooses which styles to expose with specific groups of XPression Maps Scenes and the MOS users cannot mix and match styles and maps. The Styles are bound to a specific scene group of maps templates to preserve the branding and design efforts.
