Using Google and Microsoft Maps

Note! licenses will be required from Google or Microsoft. The end user of WebGate or WebLink is responsible for obtaining those licenses and all related costs.

In order to use those "on-line" mapping programs you will require DataGate version 3.5.7 or later. A copy can be downloaded from our website's downloads section. If you are a new customer please contact us for a demonstration license key before downloading.

Put a check mark in the Mapping Web Interface box and select either Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps or Google Maps. If you selected Virtual Earth Maps, you must agree to the licensing terms and then click on OK to close the set-up.

If you selected Google Maps you must request a "key" from the Google maps API website http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/ Click on "sign up for a key" on the top left corner. You will be required to provide the URL of your server running DataGate. This is a domain name that will resolve (point to) the I.P. address of your DataGate server. When you get the key, copy and paste into the box and then click on OK to complete the setup.

Google Maps will only work with our Web Browser interface. WebGate will not link to Google Maps. You will require WebLink licenses from Datalink to use Google Maps. If you are running WebGate you will also require a Web Browser screen running on the same display. The WebGate screen can be reduced in size if other maps are not being displayed.
