Overall

A map-based visualisation is extremely useful when you have multiple assets distributed over a wide area – particularly when they’re connected together via links.

This allows you to quickly see how your assets and their values are distributed across wide geographic regions, without having to load ARDI-VE.

2D maps are ideal for environments where you…

  • Don’t have access to the internet, preventing access to Google Maps,
  • Have a relatively small location, or
  • Want to overlay details being recorded in drawings (this is very common in mining applications)

This is an example of a custom map – one you create yourself, such as a local site map or drawing. These are ideal for small, private locations or offline systems. For larger areas and sites with access to the Internet, you can also use online mapping services such as Google Earth and OpenStreetMap – see this example.

Example

In this case, we are looking at the flow rates and connections across a range of different river systems in Australia’s Murray Darling Basin. Note that the flow data being used is randomly generated and not reflective of real conditions.

You can find the example report on our Small Examples demo site.

Tips and Tricks

    • You can download a range of public domain vector maps, or you can convert your own 2D CAD drawings to build the map you use as a background.
