It has come to our attention that our current supplier for map tiles (Skobbler) is ceasing to exist, therefore certain map tiles are currently appear to be missing from the maps in the dashboard. We are replacing Skobbler with Thunderforest (as standard) in our next release, however in the interim, customers can make a change to the Dashboard System Variables now to take advantage of Thunderforest. You may therefore may see occurances where the map are not showing/appearing, but the data points are still visible.
