DocsGeo Map
The Geo Map widget can place eRanger objects on top of a Google Map, according to the Geo location property defined on the objects. The following map types are available for the base map:
- Roadmap
- Satellite
- Hybrid
- Terrain
Depending on the widget configuration, the map can be interactively zoomed and panned or it simply shows a fixed section of the Google Map.
The following figure shows an example of a Geo map widget with several SKOOR objects overlaid on a map of Switzerland, where one object is currently flashing orange:
By clicking any of the coloured dots (hotspots), details of the object's values and state are shown.
The Geo map widget relies on a connection to Google's servers (from the client's Browser) to visualize map data.
