Network Map

The Network Map provides a geographic view of your sites on an interactive map. Sites with latitude and longitude coordinates are displayed as markers that you can click to view details.

Adding Location Data

Each site can have an address and/or latitude/longitude coordinates. You can set these in two ways:

  • Manual entry — Enter latitude and longitude directly in the site edit form
  • Geocoding — Enter a street address and click "Geocode" to automatically look up the coordinates using Google Maps

Geocoding Setup

Address-to-coordinate conversion requires a Google Maps Geocoding API key. Your administrator sets this as the GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY environment variable on the server. The map display itself uses OpenStreetMap and requires no API key.
