Control Panel
Various organization-wide Map settings can be configured using the Control Panel. To modify Map settings, you will need the Map Admin role.
Map Defaults
- Default Viewport defines the initial view, in terms of the center point (latitude and longitude) and zoom level, that a user will see when creating a new map.
- Default time selection defines the range of date options that will be shown to users when selecting the time range.
- Default unit system sets the different units system (metric, imperial, or nautical), for all users and/or specific users groups. Users can override this default in the map settings.
Configure data loading
- Time series polling interval: Define how frequently the map will check for updated time series data when in "View Latest" mode.
- Default polling interval: Set the default polling interval (in seconds) for new maps. Users can override this setting within the map.
- Minimum allowed polling interval: Set the minimum allowable polling interval override (in seconds). Users are prevented from setting a polling interval smaller than this value for individual maps.
- Object search limits: Control the maximum number of objects a user can add to a map from the search dialog.
- Search around limits: Control the maximum number of objects a user can add to a map as the result of a single Search Around.
API Keys
Mapbox: Enable Find Locations on map
The Find Locations feature uses a proprietary geocoding service from Mapbox. To enable this feature for your organization, you will need to configure an organization-specific Mapbox API key that includes access to the Mapbox Geocoding API.
Bing Maps: Enable Bing Maps base layers
To use Bing Maps base layers, instead of the default Mapbox base layers, enter a Bing Maps API key.
