Worldwide Map

You can see monitored nodes and groups on a map by a supported provider. Currently, Worldwide map supports only MapQuest.

If monitored devices contain information about their location in the geocode format, they can be added into the Worldwide Map widget automatically.

Adding a large number of objects on the Worldwide map may lead to performance degradation. If you have more than 1,000 objects on the map, a recommendation to reduce the number of nodes will be displayed.

Objects with the same position are shown as one location.
