Selecting a map in FleetSpace

Who can do it: Service provider, Customer
Where: Wialon Platform FleetSpace

In Wialon Platform FleetSpace, you can switch between different basemaps (or layers) and enable overlays. This allows you to choose the most suitable map for tasks like monitoring devices, analyzing tracks, or managing geofences.

The geocoding service, which converts coordinates to addresses, is configured by the service provider in Studio and can’t be changed within the FleetSpace interface.

To select a map, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Wialon Platform FleetSpace.

2. Navigate to any page that contains a map, such as Devices, Drivers online, or Track player.

3. On the map, click on the icon which is located in the upper-right corner.

4. Select a map service from the list. The list includes available basemaps (including layers) and overlays if any are added. You can select one basemap at a time and add multiple overlays on top of it.

   

After selection, the map is instantly updated.

When you open the map, it shows the first available view from this list:

1. Last viewed position: The map opens where you left it last time. The position is saved in the browser for each customer account and is kept after you reload the page.
2. All devices: If there’s no saved position, the map fits all devices with a known position. The map doesn’t zoom in to street level, even if there’s only one device or all devices are in one place.
3. Your location: If no device has a known position, the browser asks for access to your location. If you allow it, the map shows your location at city level.
4. Default view: If access to your location is denied or unavailable, the map shows the default view.

The map saves its position when you move it or use an action that moves the map, such as opening a device card or clicking Center on map.

The Devices, Drivers online, and Geofences pages use the same map. When you switch between these pages, the map keeps its position.
