System Settings

The following System Settings can be configured for GIS maps. These settings are applied to all GIS map controls in Management Consoles and Operator Consoles.

Setting	Description
GIS Maps MapTiles Service Adress	IP or hostname of the computer on which the MapTiles service is installed. The MapTiles Service acts as a proxy between the GIS map controller and the GIS map provider. When the address is specified, the GIS map control makes a request to the map tile service each time it needs a map tile image. The MapTiles Service uses the GIS Maps provider, GIS Maps provider key, GIS Maps mode, and Path to MBTiles package settings to obtain MapTiles images. The MapTiles package provider is only available if the address of the Map Tile service is specified.
GIS Maps mode	Three modes are available: Server only: In this mode, the GIS map control makes a request to the map provider each time it needs a map tile image. If the request is successful, the MapTile image is displayed in the GIS Map control. If the request is not successful, an error message is displayed in the GIS Map control. Server and cache: In this mode, the GIS Map control makes a request to the cache database each time it needs a MapTile image. If the request is not successful, the GIS map control makes a request to the map provider. If the request is successful, the MapTile image is added to the cache database and displayed in the GIS map control. If the request is not successful, an error message is displayed in the GIS Map control. Cache only: This is the "Offline" mode. The GIS Map control attempts to retrieve the MapTile image from the cache database. If the MapTile image is retrieved, it is displayed in the GIS Map control, otherwise an error message is displayed in the GIS Map control. The Server and cache and Cache only options are not available for the Google Maps and Map Tiles Package provider.
GIS Maps Provider	Select the provider to request map tiles images for GIS map control. Available providers are Google maps, OpenStreetMap maps and Map tiles package. The name of the provider is displayed at the bottom of the GIS map control.
GIS Maps Provider Key	Enter the license key for your maps provider. This setting is mandatory for the Google Maps provider. The key can be requested via https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/get-api-key.
Map Objects Cluster Alarm Color	Defines the color for the icon of a map object cluster when one of the associated map objects is in alarm.
Map Objects Cluster Color	Defines the color for the symbol of a map object group.
Map Objects Icon Size	Defines the icon size of all GIS map objects and map object groups. Changing the icon size may affect the grouping of map objects.
Path to MBTiles package	The path to the MBTiles DataSet file on the computer running the MapTiles Service. This package will be used as offline tile source. This setting is mandatory for the MapTiles package provider. The MBTiles package can be obtained from the website https://openmaptiles.com/downloads/planet/. The MapTiles package provider supports both raster and vector datasets for MapTiles.
