PAN, FEILING (PGR) Greetings!

how do I display location information in iot central? Like a map.

Did you check this documentation already Display device location?

I see two maps in the view, and I don't know which one is what I need.

You can add map tiles to a dashboard to plot the location of one or more devices.

When you add a map tile to show location telemetry, you can plot the location over a time period.

To display location data on a map, you can use the Map (property) or Map (telemetry) tile.

The Map (property) tile displays the current location of one or more devices on a map.

The Map (telemetry) tile display the location of one or more devices on a map. You can also display up to 100 points of a device's location history. For example, you can display a sampled route of where a device has been in the past week.

Here is an example of how to display location data on a map using the Map (telemetry) tile.

• In your IoT Central application, go to the dashboard where you want to add the map tile.
• Click Add tile and select Map (telemetry).
• In the Configure tile panel, select the device group and device(s) you want to display on the map.
• Select the telemetry that contains the location data. In your case, it would be the telemetry that contains the latitude and longitude data.
• Choose how you want to display the location data on the map. You can choose to display the current location, the location history, or both.
• Customize the tile settings as desired, such as the tile name, size, and color.
• Click Save to add the tile to the dashboard.

Once you have added the map tile to your dashboard, you should be able to see the location data displayed on a map.
