Custom Map Layers

Map layers can display routes and resource locations, as well as demographic information along with street names and one-way street arrows, helping you better navigate routes.

This screenshot displays the layers on a map, which can include routes, resource locations, and demographic information such as population density and the locations of gas stations, pipelines, and other geographical features. Each layer is represented by a color-coded symbol: a circle for locations, a blue line for routes, and a colored shape for demographic data.

Maps such as Team maps, Activity List maps, and Activity Details maps display custom map layers.

• Click the icon in the application to open the list of all layers configured in the application.
• Select a layer from the list to add the items contained in the layer to the map.
• Select multiple layers to display their combined data.
• Deselect a layer to remove its content from the map.

Note: Only the layers that are set as Active are shown here.

Create an activity or a service request

You can create an activity or service request from a map layer and include the asset details and GPS location. In addition, you can interact with the asset directly and obtain historical and/or IoT data. The application can capture the correct location and asset properties automatically, if configured. As a mobile worker or a dispatcher, you can open a plug-in or custom form from the map layer hint for a specific asset. Custom map layers are available for route and team maps within Core Application and in the installed iOS and Android apps.
