Location based information adds additional insights to basic research and data analysis. GEOBASE and GeoRef users have access to updated map features on the Engineering Village platform. The Show map feature enables users to put their research results into geographical context by visually representing the location of the document topics retrieved via a search within GEOBASE or GeoRef. Researchers can click on any of the map points and refine their search to that location. Additionally, maps have been updated to include a high quality terrain map and links to the GeoFacets database.

All Engineering Village users can now get support from Engineering Village product specialists 24/7 via the new Chat support feature.

Users can get immediate help from Engineering Village support team members at any point during their research activities, any time of day and any day of the week. The support specialists have a deep knowledge of both the product platform features and content.  Users can interact with a support team member in real time which enables follow-up questions and further clarification on inquiries.
