¶ How to Use the Map Page on Hive
The Map page provides a real-time view of all devices connected to Hive, showing the network topology and link status.
¶ Monitoring Link Quality and Routing
As shown in Screenshot-1, you can monitor link quality and see how devices are connected and routed. In this example, vehicle 1 has active links to static 1 and static 2, along with their routing paths.
¶ Using Different Map Layers
You can customize the background of the Map by adding different map layers through Settings → Map Layers.
For example:
- Floor Plan View – As shown in Screenshot-2, you can upload a building floor plan to visualize the exact placement of your devices indoors.
- Satellite View – As shown in Screenshot-3, you can use a satellite image to display outdoor deployments, such as open fields or large sites.
This feature helps you better match the map to your real-world environment, making it easier to plan, monitor, and manage your network layout.
Under Layer Display Settings, you can adjust how the map and nodes are shown. Options include controlling node visibility, customizing icons, setting link thresholds, adjusting link distance, and managing node spacing for a clearer layout.
