The Map Frame provides a geographic map with multi-layers, powered by Google Maps. The default map extent usually covers the service area of the car base, which has been defined at the installation process. Stands and responsibility zones for each stand, as well as Points of Interest, and the current location of cars combined with user interactivity appear on the map.
Map
This frame displays a dynamic geographic map, extending usually over the service area of the car base that has been defined at the installation process. You can use the map to monitor the car's route and status, to view stands and responsibility zones, to view or define the specific customer's location, to point out a location as destination and to view POIs.
The above objects are visualized on the map with the use of special and unique symbols, which are also dynamic in order to visualize in real time the status of the object they represents (cars, POIs, stands, customers etc.). Read more about the map symbols at Car Icons & Functionality and Stands and Pick up points chapters.
