Background
It has come to our attention that our current supplier for map tiles (Skobbler) is ceasing to exist, therefore certain map tiles are currently 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.
Solution
Replace the URL for MAP_TILE_URL in System Variables: Maps
Steps To Take
Log into the dashboard as the Administrator/Admin User
Navigate to the ‘Dashboard Configuration’ menu (using the spanner icon)
Open the ‘Settings’ tab
Under 'Global Variables' tab, find the 'System Variables: Maps' section
Replace the existing URL for MAP_TILE_URL with a new URL we can provide* and save your changes
After maing the change, refresh any open browser sessions in order for the change to be applied to those maps
Please ensure that your security policy allows for ThunderForest access, otherwise this may prevent the maps from appearing, despite having made the configuration changes listed above.
*To obtain the new URL, please raise a support case with our Service Desk and we can quickly provide this to you.
