Google Maps

Important

Exago’s Google Maps wizard uses the Google Maps API, which requires a paid license for commercial use. You must acquire a Google Maps API license in order to enable this feature.

There are additional steps needed in order to enable the new Google Maps wizard introduced in v2016.3.

  1. Download and install the Google Maps Polygon Database for free from our support site.
  2. Extract the polygon database into the MapCache directory.
  3. If Remote Execution is in use, the polygon database must also be extracted into a mapCache folder inside of each Scheduler Service’s /bin directory.
  4. Give the web server full permissions to read the mapCache directory.
    For Windows:
    1. Right click on the folder and click Properties.
    2. In the security tab click Edit then Add.
    3. Enter iis_iusrs then click OK.
    4. In the Permissions for Config window, select the IIS_IUSRS that was just created and check Allow Full Control. Click OK.

    For Linux:

    1. chown $apacheUserID MapCache
    2. chmod -R u+wr MapCache
