Fleet map and Map view

A Map view pins the rows of a table on a map: "Pin this table's rows on a map by a latitude and a longitude column." It works on any table with coordinates: delivery points, clients, warehouses, vehicles fed by telematics. Maps are drawn on OpenStreetMap, and every map says "© OpenStreetMap contributors".

The TMS has its own live fleet map of every vehicle; it is described in Positions and the fleet map (see Fleet map below).

The right side of the Mapa punktów map view: Search rows and Filter in the toolbar, the zoom buttons of the map, and the list On the map: 8 with each point's colour, Miasto and Rodzaj — The list beside the map: each delivery point in the colour of its kind.

Before you start

Map views are part of every plan.
The table needs two Number columns on the same page: one for the latitude, one for the longitude. A table without them can add them from the dialog.
Viewers see the map and open records. Creating the view and changing its settings need edit rights on the table.

Create a map

In the project rail, click Add view under the table, then Map.
Fill in New map and click Create view.

The New map dialog: Name (Optional), Latitude column and Longitude column picked by their names with the hint Picked by the column name. Check it before you create the map., More options, Cancel and Create view — The New map dialog.

Field	What it means	Example
Name	The view's name in the rail. "Optional".	Mapa punktów
Latitude column	A number column, from -90 to 90.	Latitude
Longitude column	A number column, from -180 to 180, on the same page as the latitude.	Longitude
Label pins with	The pin's title in the popup and the list.	Punkt
Colour pins by	A select column: each option paints its pins in the option's colour. One colour keeps one colour.	Rodzaj
Direction in degrees (optional)	A number column with a heading. "With a direction, each pin is an arrow pointing where the vehicle is heading." No direction keeps plain pins.	Kurs
Show on the card	"Up to 8 fields, shown in the list and in the pin popup."	Miasto, Rodzaj

Label pins with, Colour pins by, Direction in degrees (optional) and Show on the card sit under More options.

Columns named Latitude and Longitude (or their Polish or German names) are picked for you: "Picked by the column name. Check it before you create the map." A table without number columns for them shows "This table has no number column for a latitude or a longitude yet." with Add Latitude and Longitude columns, which adds both to the table.

The dialog refuses two mistakes: "Latitude and longitude have to be two different columns." and "Latitude and longitude have to be on the same page of the table."

The map

Part	What it does
Pins	One per row with readable coordinates, in the colour of its option, or an arrow when the view has a direction.
Clusters	Pins close together join into a circle with a number: "2 pins here. Zoom in to see them."
Zoom in / Zoom out	The + and − buttons; the mouse wheel and dragging work too.
Legend	The colours and how many pins each has.
Popup	Click a pin: its title, the card fields and Open record.
Rows on the map	The list on the right, "On the map: 8", with the card fields. Hide the list / Show the list. Click a row to find its pin.

Search and filter

Search rows finds rows by text in the list and on the map. Clear search resets it.
Filter narrows the pins by a card field with a few repeating values (a status, a type): "Only for you: nobody else sees this filter." It shows, for example, "5 of 8". A map without such a field says "Add a field with a few repeating values (a status, a type) to the card, and you can filter the pins by it here."

Rows without coordinates

Rows that cannot be placed are counted in the footer rather than dropped silently:

Count	Meaning
"Empty coordinates: 3"	The latitude or longitude cell is empty.
"Unreadable coordinates: 1"	The value is not a number or is out of range.

"These rows have an empty, unreadable or out-of-range latitude or longitude, so they have no place on the map. Open the table to fill them in."

A map shows up to 5,000 pins. Past that: "Only the first 5000 of 6200 rows are on the map. Narrow the view with a filter to see the rest."

While the tab is open, "Positions refresh every minute while this tab is open.", so a table that telematics or an automation keeps updating stays current without reloading.

View settings

View settings change the coordinate, label, colour, direction and card columns. If a coordinate column is deleted or changes type, the map says "The latitude or longitude column this map reads was deleted or changed type. Choose the coordinate columns again in the view settings."

The share button publishes the map read-only, Public or Organization only. Quanty Ghost columns narrow what a shared map shows:

A ghost latitude or longitude column leaves no pins at all: the coordinates are what places a row.
A ghost label, colour or direction column drops only that part: no titles, no colours, no arrows.
A ghost card field is left out of the popup and the list.

See Quanty Ghost.

Fleet map

The TMS add-on has a fleet map that is not a view you set up: it shows every vehicle your telematics connections report, live, with search, filters by state and connection, a vehicle's route and its assignment to a person. It is described in Positions and the fleet map. A Map view on a Vehicles table shows the positions the telematics sync last wrote into the table's rows, so both show the same vehicles, read two ways.

Good to know

Coordinates, not addresses. A map view reads latitude and longitude numbers; it does not look addresses up.
One map per question. Make one view coloured by status and another coloured by region; each keeps its own settings.
Deleting the view keeps the rows.
