Find your way around the map

The map gives you a spatial view of your assets and their data, placing everything in its geographic location.

Jump straight to an address or set of coordinates. Or pan, zoom and rotate to focus on what matters. You can select items individually or in groups, measure dimensions and save screenshots of any view.

Location search

To zoom to a specific location on the map, select Location search in the right toolbar, then choose a method:

• Address - enter any part of an address, business name or landmark. Press Enter to see the results, ranked by proximity to your current position.

• Lat/Long - enter latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal degree format (WGS84).

• E/N (UK only) - enter easting and northing coordinates (OSGB36 / British National Grid).

Select an address result to zoom to its location, or select Go to location after entering coordinates.
