Configuring maps

Mobile workers can use the map view in the Maximo® Anywhere Work Execution application and the Maximo Anywhere Inspection application to check the geographical location of work orders. To make the map view available, you must prepare the Maximo Anywhere environment and configure the application.

  • Configuring IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management maps
    With IBM® Maximo Spatial Asset Management, you can locate on maps objects that are associated with assets, and locations, as well as work orders. You can also see, for example, pumps, and valves that you configure in Maximo Spatial Asset Management in a map running using Maximo Anywhere. The IBM Maximo Spatial Asset Management advanced map capabilities apply only to the IBM Maximo Anywhere Work Execution app.
  • Configuring Esri maps
    When Maximo Anywhere is configured to use the Esri map service provider, mobile workers can get a route and directions to their work order locations. Both Esri online and offline maps are supported.
  • Activating GPS
    Maximo Anywhere uses global positioning system (GPS) data to determine the geographical location of mobile workers and work orders. GPS is also needed to add position markers to the map view.
  • Configuring route lines
    When the map view is enabled, you can control the color, transparency, and width of the route lines between markers. You can configure the route lines by using the Anywhere Administration application if it is enabled.
  • Configuring zoom levels
    When the map view is enabled, you can control the zoom level of the online maps. You can configure zoom levels by using the Anywhere Administration application if it is enabled.
