Definition

You can use the GeoMap UI element to display a section of a map.

You use the values of the properties top, left, bottom, and right to specify the geographical coordinates and define the map section to be displayed. The geographical coordinates are derived from the longitude and latitude values of a geographical location and must be entered in WGS84 format based on the reference system World Geodetic System -1984 (WGS84).

The following values show a geographical section of Walldorf/Heidelberg:

top: 49.4304

left: 8.5082

bottom: 49.2000

right: 8.7922

Caution

The GeoMap UI element can only be used with a special software component that is provided by the geographical maps.

This software component which you can use to expand the Internet Graphics Service (IGS) is not included in the delivered software package SAP NetWeaver Application Server. It must be purchased from a third-party provider. The GeoMap UI element cannot be displayed without this complementary software component.
