Lite Mapping

If no other mapping module is installed or registered, the Lite Mapping module can be used. This requires no additional hardware or software, only a current internet connection. This map is very basic and can only show the current location of a client.

Setup

This option must be enabled under System -> System Settings -> System Wide Settings, on the Misc Settings tab. No other setup is required.

Usage

When this option is enabled, selecting the Map tab of a client will show a Google Maps page of the site location. For static clients, this must be entered manually using the Latitude and Longitude fields above. For Mobile clients, the most recent client location is displayed. All normal features of Google Maps, including panning and zooming, are possible.

Troubleshooting

If you get an "InvalidCharacterError" or other scripting error pop-up when opening the Mapping tab of a client, you may have an incorrect browser emulation mode set. This problem can be fixed with the Patriot Utilities program:

  1. Right click on the Patriot Utilities program entry in the Windows Start menu and select "Run as Administrator".
  2. Within the Patriot Utilities program go to System -> System Settings -> Update Browser Emulation Mode
    Update Browser Emulation Mode Screenshot
    System Settings in the Utilities Program

  3. Restart the Patriot client.

If you see an error message referring to a problem with "Internet Explorer Compatibility View", try turning Compatibility off from within Internet Explorer. This setting is found under Tools -> Compatibility View Settings
