AXIS Maps by Chyron | Next-Gen Map Presentation

The New AXIS Maps Is Here

We’re excited to announce the release of the highly-anticipated new AXIS Maps, featuring game-changing 3D map visuals, enhanced customization options, extensive data layer support, pre-defined settings for admins to ensure consistency across all users, and an intuitive new interface that makes map graphics creation for broadcasters faster and easier than ever before.

Another powerful update, in this case for the entire AXIS platform, is that AXIS is now integrated with AWS Cognito to enhance security and simplify login. With the new Single Sign-On option, users can authenticate via major identity providers (like Google, Microsoft, or Okta), ensuring safer and more consistent access without depending on administrators to create and manage their passwords.
