Documentation Axxon Next 4.6.0:

Configuring the Interactive Map

Launching and Closing the Axxon Next Software Package

You can use Google Maps in Axxon Next 4.6.0 and later versions. To use Google Maps as an interactive map in Axxon Next, do the following:

  1. Sign up for Google Maps and purchase a license:

    1. Sign up for Google Cloud. To do this, contact one of the Google Cloud partners at https://cloud.withgoogle.com/partners/ and request an access to the Google Cloud console (account).

      Note

      Individuals can sign up for Google Cloud by themselves. In this case, Credit Card will be used for payment.

    2. Subscribe and find a link to the Api Key in your account. Use this key for each Axxon Next client. You will be billed by subscription, and your company will receive invoices for payment. See the pricing at https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing/.

  2. Add the ability to use Google Maps to Axxon Next:
    1. Close the Axxon Next Client.
    2. Open the AxxonNext.exe.config configuration file located in the <Axxon Next installation directory>\bin folder in any text editor.

    3. Add the following code block to this text file in the <mapProviders> section:

      <provider name="GoogleMap">
 
<param name="Id" value="D7287DA0-A7FF-405F-8166-B6BAF26D066C" />
 
<param name="Copyright" value="Map data © Google 2020" />
 
<param name="MinZoom" value="3" />
 
<param name="MaxZoom" value="17" />
 
<param name="DefaultZoom" value="9" />
 
<param name="Enabled" value="true" />
 
<param name="ApiKey" value="" />
 
</provider>

    4. For the ApiKey parameter, set the received key.

      <param name="ApiKey" value="received key" />

      Note

      Google Maps will only become available if the ApiKey is set.

    5. Save changes to file.

    6. Launch the Axxon Next Client.

    7. Repeat steps a-f on all Axxon Next Clients where you plan to use Google Maps.

      Attention!

      It is necessary to update the AxxonNext.exe.config configuration file after each update of the Axxon Next Client.

As a result, it will be possible to use the geodata of the Google Maps provider as a map in Axxon Next.
