Add Map
Add the maps that exist in the current workspace to your dashboard. The supportive maps include general maps, online maps, and dynamic real-time maps. Maps are used as the base maps or background images of dashboards. A dashboard can add multiple maps at the same time. A dashboard can make the display of data more vivid by combining industrial data and maps.
