If you open a
Spotfire®
analysis that includes a map, and it includes location-awareness (latitude and
longitude) properties, you can use your mobile device location-awareness
feature to find your current location in the analysis, and (depending on the
analysis features) to find the distance between your current location and other
location points in the data.
Before you begin
You must be running
Spotfire for Apple iOS
version 2.14 or later, and the analysis you are viewing must include the
location-awareness properties. If the location button on your mobile device is
not active, and you expect it to be active, ask the analysis designer to add
support for the feature.
Procedure
-
Using your mobile device, open the analysis containing the
location-awareness properties.
-
Find the pin icon on the tab bar of your device.
The pin icon should appear active. By default, the pin icon is
blue when it is active, and black when it is either inactive or in use.
-
Tap the pin icon and note the result in the analysis.
Depending on the design of the analysis, the map should center on
your location and display an icon to indicate your location. The analysis might
also feature dynamic controls that show the latitude and longitude.
The animation shows tapping the pin icon to find this device
location on a map of the world.
Remember: The location is not a dynamic
value and does not change if you move from your current location while the
location awareness is active. To recalculate the coordinates after moving, you
must tap the pin icon to make it inactive, and then tap it again to activate
it.
-
Tap the pin icon again to turn off location awareness and reset
the analysis to its previous state.
