The MAP tab uses the spatial information stored in the Level 3 Properties within DataSight to display pinned locations for your Levels, while also displaying the most recent Variable data in a pop-up box when a Level is selected.
Use of the MAP tab requires an internet connection when viewed for the first time. DSApp will store the geographic areas viewed in its internal cache. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the MAP tab and view your Level locations prior to heading out in the field.
