Introduction

These are the maps that are displayed, one at a time, on the screen by users. This is the master list of base maps, they are individually allocated to map profiles which are then assigned to BlueWorx users.

Important Information

It is the responsibility of the customers organisation to ensure that have the appropriate usage rights, licenses and applied attribution for any maps and layers they configure. No such rights are explicitly provided nor implied as part of the BlueWorx solution/ commercial product.


As discussed at the BlueWorx User Group 2022 and SP13 Roadmap, the functionality for maps will switch to ESRI control in future releases (commenced in SP13 period with targeted release in SP14). This will mean that the Google Maps functionality will no longer be supported/ available.
