Location Editor

## Introduction

Place your locations on the maps and add some comments if you want.

#### Important!

Only place locations in maps where it makes sense. For example, if you have a regional Map of Europe place Zurich in there but don't add buildings on that level. You should place buildings only in city maps and so forth...

Depending on whether you enabled Google Maps in User-Profile or not, this tool will act very differently:

## Usage with Google Maps

- Upon selecting a location a geocode lockup is performed and the found coordinates are highlighted green in the NS & EW fields.
- A draggable marker is placed on the map, which can be adjusted to fit your needs. Enter a description and click the add button.
- The marker turns into an icon reflecting the respective location level and coordinates should stay black, since they're read from the DB now.

## Usage without Google Maps

- Without Google Maps integration enabled jpeg backdrops can be edited. This can be leveraged with the geo map type in Topology-Maps.
- At first you'll see the top level map, which is a world map by default (I'll change this as soon as we've got networks on other celestial bodies).
- Select a region and click on the map to set the coordinates. You'll notice that values are being populated and the 'Add' button becomes 'Update', if the location already exists.
- Upload lower level maps to html/map with (System-Files for example). Let's say, your network sites are located in 2 regions (USA and Europe). Just name them map-USA.jpg and map-Europe.jpg and upload them. Now when you select cities in those regions, the appropriate map should be shown and you can place cities accordingly.
- This also works within cities (makes sense where you've got a big metropolitan network). Just upload a map-Europe-Zurich.jpg to html/map and as soon as you click on buildings in Zurich you can place them in that metropolitan map.
