Maps Widget (EWO)

The Maps Widget provides the possibility to open and display maps within your project. The Widget is based on the Marble component which is part of the KDE project. The Widget allows you to:

  • use and display various types of maps based on the map theme that is used by your project like OpenStreetMap, WebMapServices or Google Maps.
  • display custom objects from WinCC OA directly onto the map, e.g. to represent your plant and give additional information like alerts, etc.
  • ESRI files cannot be displayed within the Maps Widget.

Marble Version

WinCC OA uses the Marble Project Version v19.04.0. The license agreement can be found here.

Requirements

Following requirements must be met for using the Maps Widget:

  • For using the Maps Widget a valid "gis" license is required.

If the Maps Widget icon is not displayed within your GEDI it is necessary to remove the PVSS00ui.ini located within your users folder. For Windows the file is located under <User>/AppData/Roaming/ETM/. For Linux the .ini file is located under <home>/.config/ETM/

Demonstration Panel

A demonstration panel that provides an overview over the available functionality can be found within the example panels of the installation (/panels/example/maps/).
