Enable Google Maps for your applications to display asset locations.

About this task

While designing a page, you can use the Google Maps widget to display the locations of assets on a map. To do so, you require the API key generated by Google. This topic describes how to access the key and use it in the application that you want to create.

Procedure

  1. Access https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/, and follow the on-screen instructions to generate the API key.
    The API key is generated.
    Note: Ensure that the following APIs are enabled for the key:
    • The Geocoding API
    • The Maps JavaScript API
  2. Modify the userconfig.json file located here:
    C:\Program Files\GE\Operations Hub\iqp-endapp\public\scripts\data
  3. Update the file using the API key and version information provided by Google:
    Search for "googleMapsVersion" and enter the version number for it.
    Search for [GOOGLEAPIKEY] and replace (including the brackets) with your API key.
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart the Operations Hub IQP Tomcat Web Server service.
    The Google Map widget is now available for use in the application. Asset locations are now displayed on a map.
