How to set up the Google Maps for your platform?

Your Bpart platform has an interactive map.

• use the map to collect location based information or entries
• hide or show the map on your project start pagina
• add an overlay or spatial file to your map

Collect location based entries or information

Use the map feature as a field of your topic or entries form. In the help center, you can find more information on setting up a form and on the Maps form field here.

Standard location and zoom level of your map

1. Open the Project Settings item in the menu on the left side of the screen.
2. On the right side of the page you can set the Google Maps components.

3. Determine which location is shown on the map by entering the location in the Search section.
4. Determine how much the map is zoomed in by using the zoom buttons on the map.

Add an overlay: image or GeoJSON file

You can use an image (png, jpg ...) or GeoJSON file to add layers on your map. You can combine both.

1. upload a file and fill in the four anchor points

You don't know your anchor points? Use Google Earth Pro to discover them

2. upload a GeoJSON file

You want to create your own GoeJSOn file? Use geojson.io to do so.

With both files, a preview will appear.
