| goMap - go find yourself | Version 2.0.0 |
Step 4: General Settings
Select the type of map you want to render. goMap can render the outgoing map using any of the following types: - Standard - All points will be rendered when the map is loaded.
- Time-Lapse - the points will be loaded in chronological order from the beginning of time to the end of time within the data source.
- Positional - the points will be loaded based on the zoom factor and current viewing coordinates. Clicking on a position in the map will automatically reload the points within the predefined radius around that location. If Zoom levels are configured (see ReadMe), zooming to different levels can control the points which will be displayed within the map.
Pick from the list and enter the required fields, each requires a slighlty different list of fields - defined here:
- Google API Key - The Google API key is important, and must be configured properly for any goMap instance. Follow the link provided to obtain the appropriate key. The URL of the key is extremely important. For local environments, using locahost as the name of the value, you should specify the correct url down to the name of the tab you are using. For actual domain usage, only the base domain url is required.
goMap supports intelligent multi-homed API keys, meaning - it retains more than one key, based on the current httpAlias. If you have 2 domains pointing to the same module, you must specify the API key through administration on both URLs. A collection of the URLs is maintained, and will be utilized based on each request.
- Maximum Points - The total number of points goMap should render at any given time (this is current ignored).
- Initial Delay - The amount of time, in milliseconds to wait before attempting to render the first point within the map. This value is used specifically on Internet Explorer due to poor javascript runtime lags. Example: 3000
- Retry Delay - The total milliseconds to wait between checks to begin loading the points. GoMap will continue to check for the end of the page before it attempts to render any points. Example: 250 -
- Timeline Delay - The amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, between plotting points in Time-Lapse mode.
- Automatically Initiate Playback - Determines if the Time-Lapse will automatically start the playback when the page loads.
- Use Timer Difference in Playback - Determines whether the distance between Timer values will be used to determine the actual TimeLine Delay. This is useful for true timelapse playback.
- Display Timer Info as Status - Determines whether to to display the point count, or the actual Timer Info assigned to the Point in the status during Time-Lapse playback.
- Default Radius - The distance to use (in miles) for loading points contained within the currently selected point on the map.
