      2. Things you can do with this layer

      Add a Path Layer

      Go to Analysis tab > Dashbards > Create/Edit a Dashboard > Add/Edit a GeoMap Chart component

      💡 To add a map, drag and drop the GeoMap Chart option from the left-hand side of the screen onto the canvas.

      In order to configure the path layer, follow the steps below:

      1. Give a name to your layer.

      2. Select the data structure where you have your moving objects.

      3. Define which field has GPS information.

      4. If you have many moving objects (i.e. patrols); choose Group path waypoints by and then choose the field patrol. This will create one unique path for every moving object (i.e for every patrol).

      5. Define which field has day/time information.

      6. Choose what do you want to see in the info field.

      7. Choose the marker icon and the arrow color.
      8. Once you are satisfied with your configuration, save it, save the dashboard, and enable this layer from the legend to see the results.

      ✅ Steps 4 and 6 are optional.

      Things you can do with this layer:

      • If Timeline is enabled on your map (under general settings): you can play the timeline to see how the object is moving. You can also click on a time period to see the path during this period
      • If you group path waypoints (step 4): right-click on the desired object or path and click on Focus Path. This will fade out other paths and will focus on the path of this object only.
      • After you choose Focus Path, in order to reset the view: right-click on the path again and click on Reset paths.
      • If you have iQ Areas enabled in your license, and you wish to create Device Query for this device: right-click on the device icon and click on Query Device. This will open automatically the Device Query with the device ID pre-filled.
