What's new on BenhaMaps

v0.7.00beta

BenhaMaps is in active development. This page tracks the user-visible changes in each release. We'll move from 0.x to 1.0 once the feature surface stabilizes.

v0.7.00

Released 2026-09-03

BenhaMaps can email you now: confirmations, password resets, buyer alerts, and a contact form.

Highlights
  • Forgot your password? There is finally a link for that.
  • Get an email the moment a buyer opens their tour (at most one per buyer every six hours, and you can turn it off).
  • New
    Email confirmation

    New accounts get a confirmation email. Publishing a tour and creating buyer links require a confirmed address, which keeps the platform clean for everyone. Existing accounts are already confirmed.

  • New
    Password reset

    Request a reset link from the sign-in page. Links work once and expire after an hour.

  • New
    Buyer-opened emails

    Optional email alongside the in-app bell when a buyer opens a tour. Toggle it under Account.

  • New
    Contact page

    Questions or a listing you want to see as a flyover: benhamaps.com/contact reaches a real person.

v0.6.00

Released 2026-09-03

Pick your brokerage office and the tour wears your colors.

Highlights
  • Eighteen Las Vegas commercial brokerage offices are preloaded: choose yours and the opening flight centers on your office, the office appears on the maps, and your firm's logo is one click away.
  • New
    Brokerage office presets (Las Vegas)

    CBRE, Colliers, Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, Newmark, Avison Young, Kidder Mathews, Lee & Associates, Marcus & Millichap, NAI Excel, LOGIC, BRAND Real Estate, Sun Commercial, MDL Group, Gatski, ROI, Coldwell Banker Commercial Premier and SVN | The Equity Group, each with its verified office address. Independent brokers can still set everything by hand.

  • New
    Use my firm's logo

    One click pulls your brokerage's public logo into the project. You can always replace it with the brand-kit version.

  • Improved
    Brokerage name in the tour

    The opening title card and the tour header now show the presenting agents with their firm, for example "Presented by Amel Benha & Mike Mixer, Colliers".

v0.5.00

Released 2026-09-02

Your brand on the tour, a preview before you send, and a dashboard that connects everything.

Highlights
  • Branding: upload your logo, agent headshots and music. The tour's opening title card and 3D intro are now yours, not a placeholder.
  • Preview any project, published or not, exactly as a buyer will see it, without counting as a view.
  • Share links and analytics are one click from every project, with a Preview tour tab alongside them.
  • New
    Branding and opening section

    Logo (or your project title as a title card), up to four presenting agents with headshots and titles, optional background music, and a choice of where the opening aerial centers.

  • New
    Preview tour

    Open your tour as a buyer would, straight from the editor. Works on drafts. Views from previews are never recorded in analytics.

  • New
    Project tabs and quick actions

    Edit, Share links, Analytics and Preview tour are now tabs on every project page, and the project list shows property and link counts with one-click actions.

  • New
    Photo management

    Upload several photos at once, remove photos, and choose the cover or reorder them. Properties can be reordered too, which sets the 1 to 9 jump keys in the tour.

  • New
    Email a link, delete a link

    Each share link has an Email button that pre-fills a note to the buyer, and links can be deleted outright (revoke still pauses them).

  • New
    Account page

    Change your name, company and password. Changing the password signs out other devices.

  • Improved
    Automatic ground elevation

    Properties now pick up their terrain height when saved, so the 3D camera frames the building instead of ending up underground. Pin colors have a color picker.

  • Improved
    Analytics that read like a report

    Property interest is listed by name instead of internal id, with tiles for tour opens, buyers who opened, flyovers and photo slideshows.

  • Improved
    Friendlier dead links

    Revoked or unpublished tour links show a clear message for the buyer instead of a bare error page.

  • Fixed
    Editing controls no longer show to buyers

    The buyer viewer briefly displayed an inactive editing toolbar and an Edit button. They are gone.

  • Fixed
    Opening title card showed placeholder people

    Every tour used to open on the same two portraits regardless of who built it. The opening now uses your branding, or a clean title card when none is set.

  • Fixed
    Newly uploaded photos could fail to appear

    Photos added after a release could 404 until the next deploy. Uploads are now served directly and reliably.

  • Fixed
    Hardening

    Stricter checks on everything the editor saves, sign-in email is no longer case-sensitive, and special characters in names and descriptions display safely in the tour.

v0.4.01

Released 2026-08-20

Easier-to-read landing page.

  • Fixed
    Headline legibility over the hero video

    The landing page video is now dimmed behind the text, so the headline reads clearly over bright frames.

v0.4.00

Released 2026-08-19

BenhaMaps gets its own home at benhamaps.com, and this What's new page starts tracking releases.

Highlights
  • The platform now lives at benhamaps.com - update your bookmarks. Existing share links keep working.
  • amelbenha.com is now Amel Benha's personal page, featuring the original Las Vegas resort-corridor presentation that started it all.
  • New
    benhamaps.com is the platform's own domain

    The app, your dashboard, and all buyer share links are served from benhamaps.com. The platform previously shared a domain with the original client presentation.

  • New
    This What's new page

    A public release history with a version number you can reference when reporting an issue. The current version is shown in the site footer.

  • Improved
    Faster, dedicated hosting

    BenhaMaps moved to its own infrastructure with a current-generation database. No action needed - accounts, projects, photos, and share links all came along unchanged.

v0.3.00

Released 2026-07-05

A real Las Vegas opening shot.

Highlights
  • The landing page hero is now a cinematic dusk flyover of the Las Vegas Strip - the market where BenhaMaps was born.
  • Improved
    Las Vegas hero video

    Replaced the generic city flyover with a dusk aerial of the Strip, tuned to load fast on any connection.

v0.2.00

Released 2026-07-03

Pin properties precisely on satellite imagery and curate the nearby points of interest buyers see.

Highlights
  • Drag a pin on live satellite imagery to fine-tune exactly where a property sits - down to the building or unit.
  • Pick which nearby landmarks, restaurants, and attractions appear around a property in the 3D tour.
  • New
    Draggable satellite fine-tune pin

    Address lookup gets you close; the new satellite map on the add and edit forms lets you drag the marker onto the exact rooftop.

  • New
    Nearby points of interest

    The property editor suggests real nearby places within a radius you choose (a quarter mile up to two miles). Keep the ones that sell the location, add your own, and they appear as labeled landmarks in the buyer's 3D tour.

  • Fixed
    Nearby-place suggestions reliability

    Suggestions could intermittently come back empty. They now load consistently.

v0.1.00

Released 2026-07-02

BenhaMaps launches: build cinematic 3D property tours, share private buyer links, and see who is engaged.

Highlights
  • Agent accounts with a full project dashboard - properties, photos, camera framing, and branding.
  • Per-buyer share links: every client gets their own private, view-only tour link.
  • Engagement analytics: see which buyers opened their tour and which properties held their attention.
  • New
    Agent accounts and dashboard

    Sign up free, create projects, add properties with photos, details, and per-property camera framing for the 3D flyover.

  • New
    Cinematic 3D buyer viewer

    Buyers get a full-screen aerial tour of each property with photos, details, and surrounding landmarks - no account or app required.

  • New
    Private share links per client

    Generate an unguessable link for each buyer. Revoke any link at any time without affecting the others.

  • New
    Engagement analytics and notifications

    Per-client and per-property view tracking, plus an in-app notification bell when a buyer opens their tour.

  • New
    Address lookup

    Type an address and the editor fills in the exact map position for you.
