Polling interval

You can specify the frequency at which new time series and time series property values will be loaded when in "View Latest" mode. This is a per-map setting that applies for all users when using this specific saved map.

Time zone

You can specify the time zone in which to display the map. This is a per-map setting that applies for all users when using this specific saved map. The options for time zone are:

  • Local (this will use the time zone of the viewer's computer)
  • UTC

Enable experimental labels

You can enable an experimental method for displaying and positioning objects labels on the map. This method applies a positioning algorithm that attempts to minimize instances of labels overlapping each other, or obscuring objects. However, in some circumstances (such as with large numbers of labels) the resulting label positioning could be undesirable, or labels could reposition in undesirable or distracting ways. This is a per-map setting that applies for all users when using this specific saved map.
