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 v21.12.2. The license agreement can be found here.
