The Salesforce Maps Winter ‘25 release will be available in production environments between October 29 – 31.
Auto-Enablement of the new Maps experience in October
To enhance your experience in Salesforce Maps on desktop, the new features currently available in all environments will be auto-enabled in the Winter ’25 release. The Enhanced User Experience setting in the admin configuration settings will remain and can be manually disabled until the Spring ‘25 release.
Get Release Ready
To ensure a smooth transition, please take the following actions prior to the production release.
- In Production: From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Remote Site Settings, and then select Remote Site Settings. Find and activate the following remote sites: https://lookup.search.hereapi.com, https://autosuggest.search.hereapi.com, and https://revgeocode.search.hereapi.com
- Failure to do so may result in disruptions to the Points of Interest Search and Click2Create features
- Prior to the deployment to production, we encourage you to explore the enhanced experience in your sandbox environments. All sandbox environments have been updated with the enhanced experience enabled by default.
What This Change Brings
- Experience a drastic improvement in performance and rendering, plotting layers, and mapping content up to 6 times faster!
