MapApp

The AVEVA OMI MapApp can display a map containing graphics within a running ViewApp. During run time, the map provides controls and touch support to enable users to pan to different areas of the map and zoom in or out to show more or less map detail. Graphics placed in a map typically represent business assets located within an area shown by the map. These graphics can include alarming to show the current state of processes at each business location.

You can add map pins to a map through an action script and change the assets displayed on a map at different zoom levels.

The following example map shows alarm indicators indicating the location of buildings and the current alarm state of each building. During runtime, users can click zoom buttons at the upper left corner of the map to zoom the view in or out. Different map data appears based on how you assigned your company's asset data to the zoom layers. Selecting the icon at the upper right corner of a map shows a list of base maps and overlays that can be selected to show different data within the current map view.

The MapApp supports touch gestures when a ViewApp runs on a touch-enabled device. Users can pan, zoom, or select items shown on a map using standard touch gestures.
