Maps - FAQ

Maps - FAQ

1. What happens if you configure Geolocation field for an instance, and have also configured Location datapoint for the same instance?

When a geolocation field is configured for an instance, the instance will be placed at that geolocation on the map and remain there until the field is modified. Whereas when a location datapoint is configured for an instance and updated value is received for the datapoint continuously , the instance will keep changing based on the value and show movement.
 
For example, if you have configured geolocation for an instance TRUCK_1 of model TRUCK. TRUCK_1 will be placed in the geolocation configured. And also if location datapoint is configured for the same TRUCK_1, it will keep moving whenever datapoint value is received.
 
However, you can set the default configuration to be used when both values are configured from the Model Settings option.
 


If you chose "Geolocation field" in the above selection for model TRUCK, even if datapoint value is received for TRUCK_1 (which is an instance of TRUCK)  it will be placed in the configured geolocation and will not show movement.
