Map tab

The Maps tab displays a large map when a map-enabled node is selected.

Smaller Map

A smaller map, in the lower right hand corner of the page, shows the location of the currently selected node.

Inheritance

Gateways, groups, and assets can be associated with a location on a map and a local time zone. Lower level nodes can inherit their geographical locations from their parent nodes. For example, setting the location of gateway or group for a single building can effectively set the location and local time zone for all the assets in the same building.

Configuration

Map settings are typically configured on the Advanced tab of a node. Network Monitor is integrated with the Google Maps API. This means you can use either the name of a location or GPS coordinates using decimal notation, such as -33.469048, -70.642007, to identify the location of any node.
