Location assets

You can drag and drop graphics on the Locations grid to place them on a map layer at specified coordinates. Each row of the Locations grid shows the assigned configuration values of a graphic that will appear on a map during run time.

To place graphics on a map

1. Select the Locations tab from Map Settings.

2. Locate the graphic that you want to place on a map from the Toolbox or Assets tabs.

3. Drag the graphic and drop it in the Locations grid area.

   If you drop a graphic from an asset instance, the Asset field shows the name of the asset. If you drop a graphic from the Toolbox tab, the Asset field is empty. In either case, the Graphic field shows the name of the graphic.

   

4. Select the graphic in the list.

   A dark background identifies the selected row.

5. Select the Layer column for the graphic to show a list of the defined map zoom layers.

   

   Each graphic is initially assigned to the Default zoom layer.

6. Select the zoom layer where you want to place the graphic. The graphic will appear during runtime only when a map is zoomed to a percentage within the range for that zoom layer.

7. Select the Properties grid to show fields to specify the latitude and longitude where the graphic will appear on a map.

   The center bottom position of a graphic is placed on a map at the specified location.

   Coordinate values can be specified as static values or as dynamic values with binding to a UDA by the position of the Latitude and Longitude switches.

   Static Coordinate Values	Dynamic Coordinate Values

   Static coordinates are specified as:

   • Latitude: +/- 0-90.0

   • Longitude: +/- 0-180.0

     Dynamic coordinates are specified as:

     Asset_Name.Reference_Name

8. Enter Latitude and Longitude values.

   You should see the coordinate values you entered appear in the Latitude and Longitude columns of the Locations grid. Click once in the grid to refresh the grid values.

9. Save your changes.
